This past February, our team members around the world came together to help fight hunger in their local communities during our fifth annual global food drive. As the global community navigates the evolving challenges of the COVID-19 situation, having a stable food supply is even more important. We are proud of our team members for their incredible generosity. Their donations are needed now more than ever.
It’s estimated that more than 840 million people around the world are experiencing hunger right now. Globally, charities and food banks are beginning to experience increased demand for life-sustaining supplies due to the COVID-19 situation. During our fifth annual global food drive, our West team members collected tens of thousands of pounds of food, which were donated to several charities and food banks around the world to fight hunger.*
Also, some team members took the opportunity to volunteer their time by sorting and packing donations. Our team members’ acts of kindness in February will pay dividends for people around the globe who are facing the economic impact of the COVID-19 situation. Food pantries help to provide stability for families and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity. We applaud our team members for playing a small part in the global fight against hunger.
“Every year, we continue to be amazed at the efforts our sites around the globe put towards our annual food drive. This year, we are especially proud that our team members’ efforts may benefit those facing economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 situation. Nurturing a culture of philanthropy is one of the defining characteristics of our company and together, as One West Team, we can fight hunger and feed hope,” said Laura Pitt, Manager, Community Affairs.

From all corners of the globe, our team members banded together to uplift their local communities during our Sixth Annual Global Food Drive. The COVID pandemic has contributed to a severe increase in global food insecurity, due to loss of incomes, disruptions in food supply chains, and other factors resulting from COVID. Our communities are in acute need of our help more than ever.

Held this past February, West’s fourth annual Global Food Drive was another incredible success with locations around the globe joining together to support the communities where we live and work.
Our commitment to philanthropy has been embedded in West’s culture for more than 95 years, and is an integral part of our overall Corporate Responsibility Program. In particular, 2019 was a banner year for philanthropy at West. Our team members closed out the decade with considerable personal investments in both time and resources dedicated to improving their local communities and promoting a healthier world. Our Culture of Giving is a key aspect of the team member experience at all of West’s global sites.
For many years, West has targeted its philanthropic efforts to support charities focused on children, people with disabilities, healthcare and education, with a focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) — all within the communities in which our team members live and work. The Company’s giving strategy focuses on three elements: Corporate Giving through direct charitable gifts made by West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.; the Herman O. West Foundation, an independently managed 501(c)(3) entity, which awards scholarships and matching gifts; and West without Borders*, our team member-led giving program.
