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. Thank you to our 5,000 plus colleagues who contributed over 20,000 volunteer hours, making Purpose Month such a success. Stay tuned as we share more on the impact of Purpose Month and continue to celebrate the season of giving. 🌍💙 #InternationalVolunteerDay #PurposeMonth

✨ A HUGE thank you to the incredible team at Brakes UK and FreshDirect for dedicating your afternoon a couple of weeks ago to an amazing cause! Your team effort and energy were phenomenal as you came together to make up Christmas goody bags for over 6,000 children supported by our delivery partners. ⭐️ THANK YOU ⭐️ Mercure Daventry for providing us the space to execute this project! At Meals & More, we’re on a mission to bring joy, nourishment, and hope to children living with poverty and social isolation. These goody bags are more than just treats—they represent care, community, and the promise of a brighter holiday season. Because of your hard work, thousands of children will experience a moment of joy and know they are not forgotten. This effort perfectly reflects what Meals & More strives to achieve: creating opportunities for healthier, happier children through meaningful partnerships and acts of kindness. Thank you, Brakes, Fresh Direct and Mercure Daventry for being part of this journey with us. Together, we’re making a real difference. 💛 #MealsAndMore #BrakesTeam #ThankYou #ChristmasKindness #CommunitySupport #EndChildPoverty #SeasonOfGiving
