Each year, we come together to celebrate Purina Cares Day, a day of community service and volunteering at our St. Louis Headquarters and factory locations across the country. Some of the day's activities include: building dog and cat beds, preparing ready-to-eat meals for the homeless, making fleece blankets for area children's hospitals and animal shelters, beautification of outdoor spaces in our communities, and so much more.

We contribute more than $1.1 million to the United Way of Greater St. Louis each year. The funds are used by nearly 200 agencies in 16 counties in Missouri and Illinois to provide community services. Similar campaigns at our various manufacturing locations are also helping to improve their communities.

You love your pets and want a safe environment where you can play together for years to come. And so do we. That’s why we’re helping improve the safety and health of our pets—and our planet.  We believe in a cleaner planet for future generations of pets and people, which is why we’re driving climate action, designing packaging for recyclability, and conserving water. Our sustainability efforts help care for the natural environment pets love and the planet we call home.

We’re committed to building future generations in our communities through local and global partners, programs, and events that provide students and young professionals with the resources they need to thrive. Together with greater Nestlé, we’re a part of Nestlé Needs You, a career acceleration initiative to help people of all ages gain work experience and strengthen their professional development skills. This program is our unconditional commitment to training highly skilled workers, leveraging unique apprenticeship opportunities and grassroots efforts to connect with students to ensure resilient communities for the future.

We are frequently recognized by local, national and international organizations for our positive work environment, focus on our associates and career opportunities. To us, each award is a true testament to the culture here, and shows the company not only has a passion for pets, but also strives to improve the quality of associates' lives at work. We're proud of everyone who continues to make us a leader in the pet care industry.
