Programming example

Yesterday, 5 BTR1 leaders from our Warriors of Amazon and BEN of Amazon employee resource groups partnered to volunteer at the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank. Our Support and Operations teams came together for 20 volunteer hours, packing over 3,000 patches of cabbage totaling more than 3,000 pounds of food for families in need.This represents a 25 percent increase in participation from our previous session, demonstrating the expanding momentum of our Feed the Community initiative.Louisiana faces a food insecurity rate of 16.2% percent, significantly higher than the national average of 12.2% percent, meaning nearly 1 in 6 Louisiana families struggle with consistent access to nutritious food. Our work directly addresses this critical gap in our community.Grateful to serve alongside Devyn, Jeremiah, Ben, and Tray in this collaboration that demonstrates what partnership looks like in action. When we combine our resources, time, and commitment to service, we create meaningful change for our neighbors. Keep being great! 🌟hashtag#CommunityImpact hashtag#FoodSecurity hashtag#AmazonGives hashtag#BatonRouge hashtag#BEN hashtag#InThisTogether hashtag#ServantLeadership hashtag#FeedTheCommunity hashtag#Warriors
