More than 20,000 of our employees put their hands, backs and hearts into volunteer activities helping hundreds of thousands of people around the world. They did this during Delicious Difference Week, our company’s annual week of community service, October 4-9, 2010.

Delicious Difference Week is part of our ongoing commitment to fight hunger and encourage healthy lifestyles. 

In partnership with hundreds of nonprofit partners, employee volunteers in 56 countries dedicated time to serve their communities and raise awareness for important social issues.  Events included planting community gardens, building playgrounds, serving nutritious meals to the hungry, helping children in need and assisting at food banks. 

“I’m so proud of our employees.  We’ve touched the lives of so many people.  While giving back has always been an important part of our company culture, our people went all out this year to make a difference in the communities where they live and work,” said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO, who volunteered to help build a playground in Chicago and to serve food to the homeless in the United Kingdom.
