Sysco Kicks-Off Second Annual Employee Volunteer Initiative Sysco Gives Back Week
February 12 2018 - 5:00PM
Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY) today kicked-off its second annual
employee volunteer initiative, Sysco Gives Back Week, as part of
the Company’s charitable giving priority to provide healthy and
nutritious meals to children, families and seniors in underserved
communities.
Sysco Gives Back Week supports the Company’s community partners
and provides Houston-based corporate associates with opportunities
to volunteer during regular work hours at several Sysco-sponsored
events. As a result of last year’s high-employee engagement, the
volunteer initiative has been extended to a two-week long
event.
“Sysco is proud to support our community partners and join in
the fight to end hunger,” stated Catherine Kayser, Sysco’s vice
president of corporate social responsibility. “When it comes to
giving back in the communities where we work and live, our goal is
to focus our community donations and volunteerism toward hunger
relief initiatives, and Sysco Gives Back Week helps us accomplish
this.”
Associates at Sysco’s West Houston and Cypress campuses are
volunteering over the next two weeks at events for Bayou City
Blessings in a Backpack, Catholic Charities Pan de Vida Food
Pantry, Cy-Hope, Houston Food Bank’s main campus and mobile
pantries in Katy and Spring Branch, Kids’ Meals, Meals on Wheels,
Star of Hope Mission, Target Hunger and Urban Harvest.
Sysco plans to expand its employee volunteer programs during
Hunger Action Month in September with additional opportunities for
associates to further donate their time.
