For many years, SYSCO has partnered with the American Red Cross, supplying food during disasters, and donating funds, products and employee volunteer time. Most recently, we committed even further, donating three self-contained mobile kitchens equipped to serve several thousand home-style, boil-in-the-bag or ready-to-bake meals daily to disaster victims across the U.S. The units, housed in Albany, New York, Houston, Texas and Ventura, California, can function around the clock at emergency feeding locations, saving time, mess and waste. The kitchens were used following hurricanes Dennis, Katrina and Rita in 2005 and during flooding in the northeastern part of the country this year. Total cost of the project was approximately $350,000.
