Preparing and serving meals for residents, cleaning CCIL’s Community Food Pantry and sorting clothes were just some of the many volunteer activities Kraft Food employees provided for CCIL during the 13th annual Kraft Cares Day. January 18, 2008 was a full day of community service for 1,200 Kraft employees who offered a helping hand at more than 50 non-profit organizations throughout the Chicago area. The event honored Martin Luther King’s legacy and benefits non-profit organizations all across the Chicago-area. Across the country, Kraft employees racked up more than 10,000 hours of community service, making it one of the nation’s largest one-day corporate volunteering events.
Kraft Cares Day originated in 1996 to honor the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy of reaching out to others in the spirit of community service. This annual event demonstrates the commitment of Kraft Foods and its employees to contribute to the needs of those less fortunate in the community.
Kraft Cares Day is one of many Kraft initiatives that help people around the world live and eat better. From the Community Nutrition Program, celebrating its 11th year distributing fresh foods to the U.S. food bank network, to nutrition and healthy lifestyle education programs in Latin America, Europe and Asia, global civic citizenship is integral to the Kraft vision.
