Giving back through the pandemic

General Mills employees care deeply about their communities. In fact, more than 80 percent of our employees worldwide report volunteering in their communities, sharing their time and talent in ways that serve both people and the planet.  

Over the course of the pandemic, employees found new ways to stay connected to their communities.  

General Mills provided opportunities for employees to complete projects at home, such as sending cards, food, and other support to the organizations and neighbors that needed them most. 

At times, larger groups were able to come together, outside and at a safe distance, to pack school supply kits, snack packs, and food boxes for those in need.

Global Volunteer Week sparks broad impact 

This spring, the company launched a renewed Global Volunteer Week.  

The annual engagement provides robust global volunteer events, ranging from in-person, virtual and educational activities for all employees. Each activity was selected with employee, community, and need in mind while being centered on taking care of the planet and alleviating hunger, along with building equitable, just communities.
