Employees from Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), a leading global provider of food and facilities services, give back to their local communities by committing to an annual day of volunteering on Aramark Building Community Day (ABC Day), the company’s global day of service. More than 3000 volunteers in 13 countries will participate in projects addressing critical needs and impacting communities by providing hospitality industry employment opportunities, increasing access to food, and encouraging environmental stewardship—just as they have done for more than a decade.

“Aramark is a hospitality company at its core,” said Debbie Albert, Senior Vice President of Aramark Corporate Affairs. “Intentionally giving back to the communities where we live and work is just another way our employees embody Aramark’s core values and strive to do great things for each other, our partners, our communities, and the planet.”

More than 3,000 volunteers in 13 countries will participate in projects addressing critical needs and positively impacting communities by providing hospitality industry employment opportunities, increasing access to food, and encouraging environmental stewardship—just as they have done for more than a decade.

This ABC Day, Aramark volunteers will participate in projects benefiting more than 120 local communities in the United States, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Mexico, Northern Ireland, and South Korea.

Among the projects are:

  • Philadelphia, PA: 150 volunteers will return for the third time to the R.W. Brown Boys & Girls Club through Caring People Alliance to build outdoor furniture, paint custom murals inspired by students, host a food tasting for preschool students, and create herb planters with senior citizens.
  • Dallas, TX: 125 volunteers will return to Buckner International’s Children and Family Services Campus to paint their family cottages and host a healthy eating food demonstration. This marks the 10th anniversary of collaboration with this organization on ABC Day.
  • Greater Washington, DC: More than 50 volunteers will paint murals throughout the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington Germantown Club and provide a healthy snack demonstration for school students.
  • Phoenix, AZ: More than 50 volunteers will create a mural for the school library, host a “fun with fruits and veggies” demonstration, and repaint the outdoor basketball courts at Solano Elementary School.
  • Mexico City, Mexico: Volunteers will build healthier and more energy-efficient stoves that use up to 50 percent less firewood to support local families and improve environmental outcomes.
  • Seoul, South Korea: Volunteers will provide healthy meals for hundreds of seniors and school aged children.

“The dedication and passion of our volunteers is truly remarkable,” said Kirsten Markovich, Community Relations Director. “As an extension of Aramark’s year-round efforts to strengthen local communities, we unite our global workforce to volunteer every year on ABC Day, engaging thousands to dedicate their time, energy, and expertise to service projects in their community. We are grateful for our community partners who allow us to share in their service and make an impact locally.”

Additionally, hundreds of volunteers will participate in virtual events, engaging team members at multiple Aramark locations. These events will support sustainable projects and provide a creative and collaborative opportunity for volunteers to give back no matter their physical location.

Since its launch, ABC Day has created volunteer experiences for thousands and has supported 2.1 million people globally. Learn more about some of Aramark’s incredible volunteers by reading their profiles featured in Aramark’s Newsroom.
