Sysco Thanks Louisville Fire Department: $20,000 Donation, Firehouse Pantries Filled, Chef-Made Lunch for Firefighters

On March 22, we held an event in Louisville, KY where Sysco CEO Kevin Hourican gathered with Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and Louisville Fire Chief Brian O'Neill to express our appreciation for the remarkable efforts of the first responders who aided in rescuing our delivery partner from the Clark Memorial Bridge. 

To show a token of our gratitude, we filled two firehouse pantries with over 1,500 pounds of food, purchased 150 gift cards from local customers to give to each firefighter, and donated $20,000 to the firefighters’ annual awards banquet. Our top-notch culinary team also prepared a delicious meal so we could gather around the table together. Sharing this meal wasn't just about nourishment. It was about fostering connection and gratitude. 

Thank you again to all the incredible first responders for your selflessness, bravery, and unwavering dedication.
