Giving back to our community is at the core of who we are, which is why our Houston-based associates are dedicating every day for two weeks to support our non-profit partners in the area.

The Medtronic Employee Assistance Program (MEAP) acts as the foundation of that commitment by providing employees around the world free, confidential support to help with nearly any work-related or personal situation.

This two-week effort, coordinated each spring, supports the Company’s core community partners who are focused on hunger relief and provides Houston-based associates with an array of opportunities to volunteer during regular work hours.

The donation is an extension of the brand’s Good Feeds Us All campaign, which was created in 2019 to inspire people to choose good whether it’s in the food they eat or the actions they take.
