Now more than ever, our world needs passionate people to step up and step out to make a difference.
Since 2009, the OtterCares Foundation has worked tirelessly to help students connect to and engage in their passions while discovering that they have the power and responsibility to give back and make a difference. We have also helped thousands of Otter Products employees find ways to connect to a need in our communities and use their time and talent to create change with causes they care about.
We want to help you give back, too.
While our world feels out of control and social distancing can make us feel isolated and alone, each one of us has the unique ability and opportunity to create impact right where we are. These small acts of kindness can create tidal waves of impact when we work together to make a difference in our communities.
