The Kodak Alaris ANZ team volunteered at the Victorian Foodbank as part of our Australian Institute of Packaging Collaboration. Over the course of 2019, our team has joined forces with the Foodbank three times! At the most recent visit, 16.7 tonnes and 30,100 meals were packed ready to be given to families less fortunate than others.
The Kodak Alaris Guadalajara Team volunteered to provide and serve prepared food for 120 homeless at the “Sn. Juan Grande” shelter. Besides helping in this event, the team also provided cleaning supplies which will help for 15 days and groceries, which will help to prepare meals for a full month.
This shelter is part of the Civil Association “Fundación San Juan De Dios México A.C.” which in Guadalajara helps homeless citizens with mental illness. The shelter is also used as a temporary home for persons who are discharged from the mental hospital as a last stage before their reintegration into society.
Day of Caring is one of the largest volunteer events for Rochester New York. Held at the beginning of May each year, thousands of volunteers come together to provide assistance to our community. Our Kodak Alaris Team of 105 employees joined more than 5,000 volunteers helping nearly 200 local nonprofits with landscaping work, painting, cleaning, and several other community jobs around the area.
We are proud of the teamwork that is evidenced in the results of our employees both inside and outside Kodak Alaris and how our employees demonstrate accountability for our community.
A group of 16 employees from Kodak Alaris UK volunteered for The Sunnyside Trust, a local charity based in Hemel Hempstead. As well as organising the full day of volunteering, the Social Committee in the UK also organised a bake sale on Wednesday 25th September to raise funds for the charity to buy new benches and some tools that they desperately need.
The Sunnyside Trust works with young people and adults with learning disabilities, offering training and work experience for over 130 vulnerable people in the local community. Our volunteers spent the day raking fields, creating signs, potting plants and tidying general outdoor areas in preparation for the charity’s fundraising event that took place last weekend.
On March 13, Kodak Alaris’ Social Committee in the UK organised its own Red Nose Day full of fundraising activities in support of the British charity, Comic Relief. Together employees raised a total of £310 during the workday! Activities for the day included a spin-a-thon where employees cycled for 100 miles in 6 hours collectively, a bake sale and food related games. Since its launch in 1988, Red Nose Day has become something of a British institution. It’s the day, every two years, when people across the land can get together and raise money at home, school and work. Comic Relief spends the money raised by Red Nose Day to help people living tough lives across the UK and internationally.
