As a part of this year's effort, Associated is also distributing $17,500 in community grants to a dozen nonprofits. Notably, one grant will provide sporting equipment for the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation in East St. Louis, which provides youth programs centered on education and athletics. The equipment will be used during the Day of Service at its youth summer camp to host a sports-themed financial education session and physical activity and will remain with the organization for use indefinitely.

Additional volunteer activities this year include repacking food at food banks and pantries, decorating meals on wheels bags, community gardening or cleaning, interacting with youth centers or summer camps, and more. Specific volunteer activities will vary based on each market and community's needs.
