McKesson has mustered over 14,000 employees to do a volunteer project of assembling and delivering care packages to some 16,000 hospitalized US veterans. The project is part of McKesson’s support of National Volunteer week, which ran April 20-25. Volunteers assembled tote bags that contain some of hospitalized veterans’ most requested items including a fleece blanket, personal care items, and most importantly, a hand-written note of thanks for their service to the country.
