Member Companies in the News

Sysco Corporation recently donated 30 million meals in a global effort to support vulnerable, food-insecure citizens. These donations were valued at more than $100 million and included nearly 16 million pounds of fresh produce and approximately six million pounds of fresh dairy products. With millions more people around the world seeking food assistance, Sysco worked closely with suppliers, customers, and government entities, along with key nonprofit partners.

T. Rowe Price recommended in a recent press release that families talk to their kids about finances amid global economic uncertainty. The firm’s research shows that kids are astute observers of family financial dynamics, and in the absence of guidance are left to form their own conclusions about the drivers of financial stress. “We know that many parents are reluctant to discuss money matters with their kids," stated Roger Young, vice president and senior financial planner at T. Rowe Price. "But we also know that kids are better positioned for financial responsibility if their parents do discuss money with them. It may be particularly difficult to have these conversations now amid the economic fallout of the coronavirus, but it’s more important than ever to be transparent with kids.”
