Global Volunteer Month
Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) today announced the third year of
“Feeding Kids Around the Clock,” 24 hours of employee volunteer
activities worldwide dedicated to raising awareness of child
hunger. Building on the impact of last year’s initiative, which
provided nearly 1.9 million meals in one day, today, starting in
Sydney and ending in Maui, Morgan Stanley employees around the
world join forces to fight child hunger and witness the difference
one single day of service can have on an organization, a community
and a child’s life.
Over 100 projects are taking place as part of Feeding Kids
Around the Clock, leveraging Morgan Stanley’s global footprint to
raise awareness on child hunger and give children the opportunity
for a healthy start to life. But this is just the beginning.
Feeding Kids Around the Clock is kicking off the 14th annual Global
Volunteer Month, an annual Morgan Stanley campaign every June which
began in 2006 and urges employees worldwide to donate their time
and effort to volunteer and better the communities where we live
and work. Since its inception, the campaign has recorded over 2.1
million hours of employee volunteering.
This year also marks Morgan Stanley’s 10-year anniversary
partnering with Feeding America. Since 2009, Morgan Stanley has
committed more than $23 million, benefiting 117 United States food
banks providing over 211 million meals around the country. Thanks
to this essential partnership and our partners globally, today,
Feeding Kids Around the Clock projects will take place in 83 cities
around the world. Employees and the public will be able to follow
along as meals are tracked and events take place around the world
on our website and on social media @MorganStanley.
“For more than 50 years, Morgan Stanley has been committed to
helping children get a healthy start in life, and having access to
nutritious food is essential to this mission,” said Joan Steinberg,
Global Head of Philanthropy at Morgan Stanley. “With an engaged
employee base and a culture of giving back, Morgan Stanley is
committed to leveraging our global reach and using all resources at
our disposal to help give children the healthy start they need for
lifelong achievement.”
Partnering with Feeding America and Food Bank For New York City,
Morgan Stanley is holding an employee volunteer event in Times
Square today, from 8:00 a.m. ET to 5:00 p.m. ET to pack meals and
raise awareness on child hunger in the U.S. Morgan Stanley is
tracking meals delivered throughout the day, posting updates on its
digital exterior signage in Times Square and on social media using
#MSGivesBack. Millions of meals will be provided to children and
families in need during this 24-hour period, but with 150 million
kids under the age of five living in hunger, this battle can’t be
won alone. Join Morgan Stanley in raising awareness on child hunger
by posting on social media with the #MSGivesBack hashtag.
