The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF) is recruiting volunteers for its annual Week of Giving. The eight-day event, held nationwide, will run from October 10-17. During the Week of Giving, insurance industry teams and individual volunteers provide three or more hours of volunteer service to local nonprofit organizations nationwide.

Through the participation of more than 6,000 volunteers from more than 100 companies, the IICF will host more than 200 volunteer events in over 87 cities across the U.S. Projects cover a wide range of service areas including: education, food programs, homeless programs, youth and children, housing, health, arts, women's issues, disability, senior issues and disaster preparedness.

IICF Week of Giving also promotes a personal "giving" campaign. Donations directly benefit IICF's Early Literacy Initiative and Every Day is a Reading and Writing Day program, which is part of a partnership between IICF and Sesame Street. Launched in Kids-ready-to-read-IICF2013, the partnership started as a significant push by the insurance industry to strategically impact literacy development among underserved children.
