Supporting Vital Community Causes
✛CVS has long funded children’s causes, and
our colleagues have readily volunteered their
time in support of such efforts. In 2005, we took
our efforts to the next level by launching the
far-reaching “CVS All Kids Can” program. In
partnering with organizations such as Easter
Seals®and National Center for Boundless
Playgrounds®, CVS is committing significant
financial resources to making life easier for
children with disabilities.
The CVS/pharmacy Charitable Trust®continues
to support the needs of many other organiza-
tions as well. Through our partnership with
America’s Second Harvest®, we support more
than 5,000 food banks and shelters. Our alliance
with the American Red Cross®and regional
relief agencies enables us to respond to
disasters, offering greater access to pharmacy
services when a community is in distress. In the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we donated
more than $1 million in money and supplies and
set up mobile pharmacy operations in Texas for
evacuees at the Houston Astrodome, the
Convention Center in Austin, and Kelly Air Force
Base in San Antonio.
As always, CVS remains committed to higher
education. We provide scholarship funding
to dozens of pharmacy schools and to the
children of our own colleagues through the
CVS/pharmacy Corporate Scholarship Program.
