SYY Sysco Corp

Today, Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY), the world’s largest food distributor, presented a check for $10,000 to the Houston Food Bank to support the local community where Sysco operates and is headquartered. This is an important time of year for food banks and pantries as they gear up to feed those in need this holiday season.

Sysco Houston also donated 2,500 turkeys to the Houston Food Bank which will be distributed to its partner networks across the city. As part of Sysco’s annual Purpose Month, a month dedicated to volunteerism, Sysco colleagues will be volunteering with one of the Houston Food Bank partners to distribute the turkeys to the community ahead of Thanksgiving.

“We are honored to make this donation to our longtime partner, Houston Food Bank, to help fight hunger in the communities where we live and work,” says Ryan Forth, Sysco South Texas Region President. He continues, “Food brings us together during the holidays and we want to ensure everyone can bring home meals to feed their families this holiday season. This is part of Sysco’s purpose to connect the world to share food and care for one another.”

“We are incredibly grateful for Sysco’s generous support and long-standing partnership,” says Brian Greene, president & CEO of Houston Food Bank. “This donation will help us provide nutritious meals to our neighbors, ensuring more people can enjoy the comfort of a holiday meal with loved ones. Sysco’s commitment to connecting communities through food truly embodies the spirit of the season.”

In Fiscal Year 2024, Sysco Houston also donated over 300 thousand pounds of food to the Houston Food Bank which equates to nearly 256 thousand meals.
