Strategic Philanthropy

Over the past 18 months, we have worked to shift our community investment programs to focus on nutrition (including malnutrition) and physical fitness through product donations for the hungry, as well as programs that educate children and parents about good nutrition and help families stay active.

We work to leverage our financial resources, work force talents and brands to support the communities in which we operate, as well as the global community overall. In 2009, we contributed more than $9 million in cash and $22 million in products to nonprofits and charitable organizations worldwide.
