C.H. Robinson Gives Back to Local Charities in Atlanta

C.H. Robinson, a global leader in third party logistics (3PL), is hosting Robinson Cares events, at its Atlanta offices during the last week of September. The goal of this community giving campaign is for employees to raise $5,000, to achieve 20 volunteer hours and an employee participation rate of 85%. All efforts will be donated to local charities in Atlanta.

To raise funds, employees will be participating in the St. Jude 5K Walk and Run, college game day tailgate lunch, silent auction, raffle, and community outreach.

On October 1, employees will be volunteering at Peachtree+ Pine Works, a Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless aimed at creating a sustainable, inclusive community within a green building, including homeless, formerly homeless, never-been homeless people living, working, playing, learning and helping each other. Monetary donations will be made to CURE Childhood Cancer and The Kyle Pease Foundation, two charities selected specifically by local employees.

“Our employees are the best in the logistics industry, and making a difference in the communities in which we live, work and play is at the heart of the culture at C.H. Robinson,” said Angie Freeman, chief human resources officer at C.H. Robinson. “With the expansion of Robinson Cares to cities across North America, our employees are excited about the even bigger impact they will have on our communities and neighbors.”

Over the last 17 years, C.H. Robinson’s corporate headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minn. has hosted Robinson Cares Week the third week of September, raising over $2.6 million for local and national charities. To make a bigger impact, offices throughout North America are participating in this initiative in 2016.
