Company-Sponsored Volunteer Activities
US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD) recently concluded its
‘Spring into Service’ initiative, a five-day company-sponsored
event developed to empower Chicagoland US Foods employees to
volunteer at local, charitable organizations during the work day.
The initiative is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to
hunger relief efforts. As a result of this years’ service, more
than 83,500 meals were packaged by hundreds of employees who
donated nearly 330 hours of time to organizations in and around
Chicago.
“At US Foods, we believe in the power of food to give people a
chance at a better future. By harnessing the philanthropic passion
of our local workforce, we were able to make a considerable
difference in the communities where we live and work,” said Debra
Ceffalio, vice president of corporate communications, US Foods.
“We’re proud of our colleagues and their achievements.”
Between May 14 and May 18, employees based at US Foods’
headquarters in Rosemont volunteered at organizations throughout
Chicago and the surrounding suburbs whose missions are to eliminate
hunger in their communities and provide access to healthier food.
The organizations included Feed My Starving Children, Greater
Chicago Food Depository, Ronald McDonald House Charities of
Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana, Northern Illinois Food Bank,
Growing Home and Operation Gratitude.
