W. W. Grainger and the American Red Cross are celebrating 20 years of partnership. Grainger has supported the Red Cross with financial and in-kind product donations, totaling more than $21 million since 2001. It has also made investments to strengthen the organization’s technology and workforce. The partnership began by leveraging Grainger’s strengths in supply chain and distribution to help get products to affected areas during natural disasters.
Since then, the relationship has expanded to include disaster recovery efforts and volunteer initiatives with Grainger’s team members. “Grainger’s unwavering generosity has enabled the Red Cross to deliver comfort and care to people in their times of greatest need,” Gail McGovern, CEO and president of the American Red Cross, said in a release.
