Host a Drive for Dialysis Program at your Offices
Challenge your staff to join the fight against kidney disease with a hands-on, team-building activity to assemble care packages for dialysis patients in the community where you live and work. Hosting a Drive is easy with our out-of-the-box program, but you can also get creative. Already have a day of service? We'll work with you to design a volunteer opportunity that meets your unique needs!
