PHILADELPHIA, PA - Throughout the month of April and all year long, thousands of Aramark associates volunteer their time at local community centers and non-profit organizations in cities and towns around the world.
“We are so grateful that our 270,000 associates have a passion for service and volunteerism and salute them for their commitment to building local communities,” said Bev Dribin, Vice President of Community Relations at Aramark. “From Cleveland to Korea, Aramark team members have helped to enrich and nourish the lives of children and families by planting fruit and vegetable gardens, teaching nutrition, wellness and career skills workshops and building community playgrounds.”
