UScellular's Support for the Community
This holiday season isn't just about the presents; it's about UScellular's active role in supporting the community. They are not only donating to the Community Kids Program but also sponsoring the Free the Zs Turkey Drive with Z107.3 FM to provide turkeys for families. Additionally, they have provided 25 hotspots and two years of service worth $28,150 as part of their After School Access Project. This comprehensive approach shows their genuine concern for the well-being of the community.
UScellular's "Gift of Connection" program is another remarkable initiative. As part of this, the donation to Penquis Community Action Program is one of 50 gifts to non-profits across the country. By providing needed supplies, they are expressing gratitude for the organizations' dedication to building connections through art, music, and sports in their local communities. This shows their understanding of the power of community and their willingness to be a part of it.
The director of sales and operations at UScellular in New England, Brandi McCune, expressed pride in the company's contribution. She said, "We're proud to provide Penquis Community Action Program with a donation of holiday presents for the many children they serve as they continue to be a pillar of support for the Bangor community. Giving back is a part of UScellular's commitment to connect people to what matters most, and we're honored to give the gift of connection this holiday season."
Penquis Community Action Program's Gratitude
Carin Sychterz, the associate development director for Penquis Community Action Program, was ecstatic about UScellular's help.

UScellular is also inviting community members to participate in the Gift of Connection through a donation drive at select UScellular retail locations. They encourage everyone to donate new sports equipment, art supplies, or family board games that will be gifted to a local non-profit.
