More than 3,200 Schwab employees across the country volunteered
to pack nutritious meals that will be distributed within their
local communities, in addition to collecting food, toys, and other
goods to support local families during the holiday season.
Recognizing that hunger relief is a year-round need, Charles Schwab
Foundation granted $750,000 to local food banks and nonprofits
focused on food insecurity in 14 communities where most Schwab
employees live and work.
“Schwab was built on a culture of service for our clients that
extends to our local communities,” said Rick Wurster, president of
The Charles Schwab Corporation and president and chair of Charles
Schwab Foundation. “It’s because of that dedicated spirit of
service from our employees across the country that we can help
foster stronger communities by addressing a critical need this
holiday season.”
Schwab’s commitment to service is apparent year-round, with more
than 11,000 employees volunteering in 2023. Over the last six weeks
during this Season of Giving, Schwab employees volunteered more
than 4,250 hours to support 20 nonprofits.
To coordinate the packaged meal donations, Schwab partnered with
Harvest Pack, a leading 501(c)(3) humanitarian hunger relief
nonprofit organization that addresses food insecurity by supporting
volunteers in bringing meal-packing events to their local
communities.
“One in ten Americans lives in a household with food
insecurity,” said William McNally, executive director of Harvest
Pack. “It’s a pervasive issue, and through the support of companies
like Charles Schwab that are deeply invested in their local
communities, we can make sure every family has a nutritious meal on
the table.”
