The earth within hands

We believe in actively demonstrating our values and nurturing our next generation by supporting the environment and contributing to the responsible development of our communities and culture. Our greatest resources are our caring and committed employees, who live and work in the communities we serve.

We urge you to support these organizations, or others that are important to you, to join Kao Collins and many others in keeping our communities sustainable.

January 2021 - Inter Parish Ministry

Part of the assistance provided by Inter Parish Ministry (IPM) are personal toiletries. Government assistance programs cannot be used for such items. One item in high demand is deodorant.

In conjunction with KUI, Kao Collins secured a six-month donation of Ban (a Kao brand). From January through June, on the third Tuesday of the month, Kao Collins will drop off 300 Ban deodorants to IPM, given the storage space limitations there. Consider our donation “sweat equity”.
