PDI Supports Local Hygiene and Hunger Organizations <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. \u2013 June 18, 2019 – <\/strong>PDI<\/a>, a leader in infection prevention products and solutions for its customers, hosted its eighth-annual Be The Difference\u00ae<\/strong> Day at its manufacturing facility in Orangeburg, NY. This company-wide initiative engages with local Rockland County charitable organizations, including People to People, Inc.<\/em><\/a>, Center for Safety and Change<\/em><\/a>, and Meals on Wheels<\/em> Rockland<\/em><\/a>, through the assembly and distribution of non-perishable food packages and cleanliness kits.<\/p>\n

Be The Difference<\/strong> Day has long-standing ties to Rockland County, with government formally recognizing the day in 2012 as an acknowledgement of PDI\u2019s history of social and economic support for the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur PDI family has always been passionate about giving back, and it\u2019s so energizing to see our associates rallying around the Orangeburg manufacturing site to engage in this important annual event,\u201d said Zachary T. Julius, Chief Executive Officer, PDI. \u201cWe are honored to continue our partnerships with Rockland County organizations that create so much positive impact in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

PDI associates built over 2,100 hygiene kits from Clean The World<\/em><\/a> that were distributed to People to People <\/em>and Center for Safety and Change<\/em>. PDI also supported Meals on Wheels <\/em>through the assembly of over 1,000 \u201cBlizzard Bags,\u201d non-perishable food packages that are delivered to the community\u2019s most vulnerable citizens when the organization\u2019s standard food deliveries are interrupted by inclement weather conditions and other emergencies.<\/p>\n

“PDI has been a thoughtful and active partner in our efforts to help Rockland County\u2019s residents for years,\u201d said Diane Serratore, Executive Director, People to People, Inc<\/em>. \u201cWe are deeply grateful for their continued commitment to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Be the Difference<\/strong>\u00a0Day celebration follows the opening of PDI\u2019s new headquarters in Bergen County, NJ in February, expanding the company\u2019s presence in that location while continuing to operate its core manufacturing and in-bound supply chain center in Orangeburg, NY with approximately 650 employees. This growth and development offers the opportunity for PDI employees to give back in both locations through company-wide volunteering and community service initiatives.<\/p>\n
