Our branded merchandise operations support neurodivergent inclusion.

Village Northwest Unlimited (VNU) - a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Sheldon, IA - provides a full range of support for neurodivergent citizens to help them acquire life skills and lead fulfilling, community-integrated lives with purpose and dignity. Their mission is to provide purpose, privacy and dignity for all people.

We engage VNU to bring neurodivergent talent into our operations, so their mission is supported by your brand merchandising. On any given day, 10 to 15 neurodivergent teammates support client brands by:

  • Assembling kitting projects
  • Applying labels, stickers and hang tags
  • Gathering and sorting distribution waste from bins at end of warehouse aisles and consolidating into large containers for recycling

Cause for Caring associate fundraising program

Caring is part of who we are.​

We founded Cause for Caring to support fellow associates facing extraordinary obstacles or tragedies.​ Funded by employee donations and matching contributions, the program enables us to send financial​ assistance immediately without having to separately fundraise for each misfortune.​

Over 200 Staples Promo associates contribute to the fund weekly. Cause for Caring directly benefited multiple Staples Promo associates, helping them navigate challenging life events.​

Junior Achievement Logo

We empower future marketers and brand strategists through hands-on mentorship.​

Staples Cause for Caring, Inc. also partners with Junior Achievement USA (JA) to support career readiness initiatives in the United States and Canada.​

Last year, Staples Promo invited students into our Iowa offices to showcase how their classroom learning connects to real-world careers in sales, marketing and merchandising.​

Attendees learned how branded merchandise improves sales, marketing and communication outcomes. They also created merchandising displays, made their own bags and even learned what goes into marketing value propositions.

Thank you for all your time and dedication - you’re helping shape our future workforce!
