Staples Connect

What may not seem like a lot to some is the heat in my home, power to run my sick mother's oxygen tank and food in the pantry on Thanksgiving. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you and everyone who shares. We appreciate it more than words can express. I love my job, my coworkers and the company I work for!”

Rachel applied to the USR Share Fund after her husband had two emergency surgeries. They were struggling to make ends meet while he was out of work for several months. While he was recovering at home, Hurricane Florence hit the North Carolina coast causing damage to their home.
The USR Share Fund helped them get back up to date on expenses and make some much needed repairs on their home. From Rachel came the message, “Thank you so much!! You have no idea how much this means to me!”

Lisa reached out to the USR Share Fund as the damage to her home caused by Hurricane Florence was extensive. She and her family were displaced for two weeks due to the storm and following flooding. “We've been able to assess the damages, the clean-up that will ensue, and the horrid smell of lingering flood waters, but luckily, we still have a home to go to.”
Lisa leaves us with the sentiment, “My family wants to say thank you to our Staples family for being there for us!”

I am proud to be a Staples associate and encourage others to contribute whatever they can afford to the fund because you never know when you may need their help some day. It is personally rewarding to know that you are helping someone else in need.”

I appreciate all the help, I even went in and started to contribute to the Share Fund. As I knew nothing about the program until a coworker informed me. And I myself am grateful for such an awesome workplace like Staples that I'm thankful to be able to contribute what little I can back to the Share Fund for other associates like myself in such a difficult time.”
