eBay’s Days of Color Campaign Contributes to Nonprofit for Children
Since 1993, Unity Care has offered services that include housing and education to youth in underserved communities of Northern California. Recently, Unity Care was selected as the Bay Area designated nonprofit for the region’s eBay Days of Color campaign.
eBay’s Days of Color campaign supports the work of charitable organizations around the world. Throughout the month-long campaign, eBay’s employees sold, bought, and donated goods through the company’s online platform in support of select nonprofit partners.
In September 2017, Bay Area eBay staff sold items on eBay and donated proceeds to fund Unity Care’s programs for foster youth. The ecommerce site’s staff also bought items on the nonprofit’s wish list such as bedding, laptops, and housewares and took part in volunteer events such as the Beautification Day of Service on September 29. On that day, eBay staff contributed toward the renovation of the nonprofit’s new South San Francisco house. Renovations included landscaping, new paint, and improvements to the decor.
