As we celebrate International Volunteer Day, we're reflecting on the incredible impact our colleagues made throughout Purpose Month in November.
Through meal packing, supporting local charities, and countless acts of service, Sysco's Purpose - connecting the world to share food and care for one another - came to life in meaningful ways, globally. For example, our colleagues in Houston packed 10,000 lunches for Kids' Meals, Inc., and our Brakes UK team packed 6,000 goody bags for Meals & More (in less than 2 hours)!
Volunteerism is at the heart of who we are, and our colleagues demonstrated the power of giving back to strengthen the communities we call home.
