The community service project at the Risk & Insurance Management Society Inc.’s Riskworld annual conference in San Diego will provide clothing and other everyday essentials for families in the area through the nonprofit Sharia’s Closet.
The project, sponsored by ESIS Inc., a unit of Chubb Ltd., will involve conference participants assembling hygiene kits for children, teenagers and adults, a project coordinated by HandsOn San Diego, a local nonprofit.
Established in 2013, Sharia’s Closet says it has supported nearly 50,000 individuals, helping build self-esteem and self-identity and empowering them to succeed in school and on job interviews and to overcome adversity.
The hygiene kit assembly station will be on the second floor of the San Diego Convention Center on May 6 and 7. All registered Riskworld attendees are invited to participate.
