OMAHA, NE (October 26, 2017) — C.H. Robinson, a global third party logistics (3PL) company, and its Omaha office contributed to a month-long, company-wide, employee-led giving campaign which raised a total of $791,000 for a variety of local and national charities. In addition to the Robinson Cares campaign fundraising, employees accumulated more than 1,450 volunteer hours, helping their neighbors in need.
The Omaha employees participated in Down Syndrome Alliance of the Midlands’s annual Buddy Walk. “One of our coworkers has a daughter with Down syndrome, and the family has been positively impacted by the Alliance,” said Derek Hancock, key account manager at C.H. Robinson. “We enjoyed participating in the Buddy Walk and seeing the smiling faces of the children and families who are supported by this worthy organization.”
Since 2005, C.H. Robinson, along with its Foundation, has given over $23 million back to our communities.
“Our employees are the best in the industry — not just in their supply chain expertise, but their dedication to making an impact in their communities on the issues that matter to them most,” said Angie Freeman, chief human resources officer at C.H. Robinson. “Because of them, we were able to support more than 250 nonprofits working locally and globally.”
