Uniting Behind “A Call for Kindness” this Holiday Season
Capital One is joining forces with Verizon to celebrate #ACallForKindness campaign
There are many words that describe this year, but challenging is the one that most comes to mind. Whether you’ve dealt with professional struggles, the stress of being a kitchen table teacher or the inability to see loved ones, the pandemic has inevitably impacted us all.
It’s clear that the world needs a surge of goodness. That’s why Capital One is joining forces with Verizon and other retailers across the country as part of a new initiative: “A Call For Kindness.” The goal is to help shine a light on the dedicated frontline employees that continue to serve the needs of our communities.
From the start of Capital One’s COVID-19 response, the safety of our associates, customers and communities has been our top priority. While the policies we’ve put in place have kept our team and our customers safe – from plastic partitions to face coverings – they have also removed a bit of the human element. Our associates are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, partners, grandparents, brothers, sisters and friends. It’s our hope that by focusing on something so simple – kindness – we can make our retail locations and the world a better place.
