PARSIPPANY — Almost 1,000 Pinnacle Foods employees are volunteering in their local work communities this week as part of the Company’s third “Pinnacle ACTs” volunteerism program. Pinnacle ACTs is short for “Action Changes Things,” and the Company’s efforts are focused on volunteering for organizations that support the basic needs of food, shelter and the environment.
Since Monday, May 8, employees from 25 Pinnacle Foods locations throughout North America have been participating in various volunteer activities at more than 80 community organizations.
“As our company has grown over the years, so has the excitement about and involvement in our volunteerism program,” said Mary Beth DeNooyer, Chief Human Resources Officer. “Now that the third year is well underway, we are thrilled to once again see the great work our employees are doing to improve their communities.”
Pinnacle Foods’ Parsippany team volunteered their time and efforts at Family Promise, Habitat for Humanity Morris County and Community Food Bank of New Jersey in Hillside.
In addition to volunteering during this week, employees are holding various donation drives at their locations and Pinnacle Foods is donating thousands of pounds of food to organizations that fight hunger.
The company is headquartered at 399 Jefferson Road and has nearly 5,000 employees across the U.S. and Canada.
