Kraft Foods Ready to Make an Impact
As part of its community service, Kraft Foods has kicked off “Make an Impact 2013,” its first company-wide volunteer event since becoming a newly independent company last year.
This month, Kraft employees will work on 200 volunteer projects that support the company’s community involvement priorities: fighting hunger and promoting healthy lifestyles.
Volunteer activities will include planting community gardens, sorting and packing donated items at food banks and leading activities that support nutrition, education and active play for children.
“Make an Impact is our chance to be change makers in our hometowns,” said Jim Norman, VP, Diversity & Community Involvement. “We’re helping organizations that make our communities better for us all.”

On April 26, Kraft employees will volunteer in Chicago-area neighborhoods like Waukegan, Little Village, Pilsen, and Englewood.
