C.H. Robinson, a global third party logistics (3PL) company, and its Dallas-Fort Worth area offices contributed to a month-long, company-wide, employee-led giving campaign. The campaign raised a total of $791,000 for local, national and global charities, including Team Rubicon. In addition to the Robinson Cares campaign fundraising, employees accumulated more than 1,450 volunteer hours, helping their neighbors in need.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area offices hosted a number of internal activities, raising more than $8,000. The employees selected to support Team Rubicon, an organization that unites military veterans with first responders to deploy emergency response teams.

“Every C.H. Robinson employee in the DFW area got involved to raise more than our goal,” said Ashley Noel, operations lead at C.H. Robinson. “It was great to see so many people, whether near or far, come together to help those in need.”

Since 2005, C.H. Robinson, along with its Foundation, has given over $23 million back to our communities.

“Our employees are the best in the industry — not just in their supply chain expertise, but their dedication to making an impact in their communities on the issues that matter to them most,” said Angie Freeman, chief human resources officer at C.H. Robinson. “Because of them, we were able to support more than 250 nonprofits working locally and globally.”
