Community

Our Purpose-Driven Focus

At C&S, we play a vital role in the nation’s food supply. From our distribution centers to our offices and stores, our teams help feed our families, our neighbors and our communities.

We demonstrate our values through a culture that embraces differences, promotes innovation and is focused on giving back.

We are committed to:

  • Keeping our communities fed — that means every person, including those facing food insecurity and hunger;
  • Supporting heroes such as U.S. military service members, veterans and their families and first responders;
  • Protecting the health and well-being of our children; and
  • Doing business in a way that protects and improves the sustainability of our environment, so that we can all enjoy a healthy future.

Helping Hands Day

During this annual day of community service, team members in Grand Rapids, Mich., team up to pack nearly 15,000 meal boxes, all of which are donated to nonprofit partner Convoy of Hope. Each box contains enough food to feed a family of four for one week and is distributed to aid families following natural disasters. In total, our team’s efforts mean that more than 500,000 meals and 5,000 personal hygiene toiletry kits are now available when they are needed most.

United Way Workplace Campaign

At the heart of the United Way is a deep commitment to ensuring every child gets a strong start, nurturing healthy communities where everyone can thrive and building a foundation of financial stability for families in the places we call home. This shared purpose comes to life each year when dedicated teams across the country join together for our annual United Way Workplace Campaign to help raise funds for free or low-cost services that improve the lives of local community members.
