Teleperformance contact centers
January, 2015 – Teleperformance U.S.A. dedicates thousands of volunteer hours every year to help
international and domestic charitable organizations in their fights against childhood hunger. As part of this
effort, Teleperformance U.S.A. partnered with Stop Hunger Now in the fall of 2014 at three different events at
Teleperformance contact centers across the country. Stop Hunger Now is a nonprofit that provides packaged
meals, vitamins, medical supplies and other donated aid across 65 countries.
Teleperformance U.S.A. employees in Salt Lake City, Ft. Lauderdale and Columbus, gave nearly 400 volunteer
hours to help package meals that would be shipped overseas to Stop Hunger Now beneficiaries in Zambia.
More than 60 employees packaged a total of 30,000 meals across the three contact center sites. The meals
consisted primarily of hearty chicken and rice dishes along with vitamin supplements. They were shipped by
Stop Hunger Now to several orphanages and shelters across Zambia that house young children without
families.
“Teleperformance partners with a number of charitable organizations whose missions are to put food on the
table for families and children in need. Stop Hunger Now approached us with this wonderful opportunity to
help children in Zambia and we immediately wanted to be a part of it,” said Kerry Black, Teleperformance
Director of Corporate Human Resources. “Our employees possess an unparalleled enthusiasm and desire to
help others. This was a great event and I am proud to be part of a company who truly believes in giving back
to the community.”
