Branch Events
With over 13,000 employees throughout our global network, many are active members in their local communities. Here are some of their stories.
Branch Spotlight - San Francisco
Expeditors San Francisco has been involved in community outreach programs for many years. Their District Manager is very passionate about empowering his employees to give back in the best way they see fit and established a Social Responsibility Team to lead their branch charity events.
Their mission is: To promote activities within the branch around philanthropy, community development, and giving back to society.
The team selects recipient organizations that support various causes. In the past, they have held donation drives to support Goodwill - donating over 12 full bins of clothing and goods, Toys for Tots - donating over 1,000 lbs. of toys, and local food banks - donating over 4,200 lbs. of food.
By providing a wide variety of charitable opportunities, their goal is to increase employee participation, therefore, creating an even greater impact. They choose to focus on four key areas: health & happiness, the environment, their local community and then an international fundraiser.
"Giving back to our community locally and globally creates great morale within the branch. I love to see how our actions can impact so many people. It is exciting to watch everyone in the branch work together to help those in need!" - Michelle Woodland - Expeditors San Francisco, Social Responsibility Team
