EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (September 3, 2026) — September marks Robinson Cares Month at C.H. Robinson, a company-wide effort that mobilizes employees around the world to support the communities where they live and work.
This year's Robinson Cares Month is the largest in company history, with volunteer projects, fundraising events and community partnerships planned across more than 40 offices and warehouse locations in 14 countries. From supporting local food banks and blood drives to helping children's charities, animal rescue organizations and transportation-focused nonprofits, employees are coming together around causes that matter to their communities.
While Robinson Cares Month shines a spotlight on community involvement each September, it reflects a commitment that extends throughout the year.
In 2025, C.H. Robinson and the C.H. Robinson Foundation contributed more than $5.3 million to support more than 1,000 nonprofit organizations worldwide. Employees also volunteered more than 15,000 hours in their local communities. These efforts are part of the company's broader commitment to creating positive impact and helping communities thrive.
"One of the things that makes C.H. Robinson special is how our people consistently show up for others," said Rachel Schwalbach, Vice President ESG and President of the C.H. Robinson Foundation. "Whether it's mentoring young people, supporting families facing hardship, helping strengthen the transportation industry, or volunteering in neighborhoods where we live and work, our employees bring the same spirit of service to their communities that they bring to supporting our customers, carriers and each other every day."
Throughout September, employees will lead volunteer projects, fundraising campaigns, donation drives and community events supporting causes such as education, workforce development, transportation and community well-being. Beyond Robinson Cares Month, the company's Employee Match Program supports year-round volunteerism and charitable giving by matching employee volunteer hours and donations, helping employees increase their impact in the communities they care about.
“Strong communities are built with intention by people who invest their time, energy and resources to help others succeed,” Schwalbach added. “Robinson Cares Month celebrates those efforts and reflects our belief that business can be a force for good in the communities we serve.”
This year's activities also coincide with Truck Driver Appreciation Week, when employees across C.H. Robinson's warehouse network will assemble and distribute 1,650 appreciation bags for professional drivers while supporting nonprofit organizations dedicated to safety, workforce development and driver well-being. The initiative reflects the company's long-standing commitment to strengthening the transportation industry's future.
Robinson Cares Month builds on more than two decades of community investment through the C.H. Robinson Foundation. Since 2005, the Foundation has contributed more than $35 million to nonprofit organizations worldwide, supporting programs that create opportunity, strengthen communities and advance the transportation and supply chain industry.
As employees around the world participate throughout September, Robinson Cares Month highlights how C.H. Robinson's impact extends beyond moving freight. Through volunteerism, charitable giving and community partnerships, employees are helping create opportunity and strengthen communities across the globe.
