Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), the pharmaceutical giant headquartered on Princeton Pike in Lawrenceville, has announced that it will be an inaugural partner to Life Science Cares in support of its national campaign to fight food insecurity.
The “Food is Health: Nourishing Communities, Advancing Health” initiative aims to invest $30 million and mobilize 30,000 volunteer hours by 2030 to deliver measurable, lasting impact for communities nationwide.
As an inaugural partner, Bristol Myers Squibb will commit $5 million, underscoring its leadership in advancing health equity and reducing barriers to care.
“Advancing health equity requires bold action and shared responsibility, and we’re proud to partner with Life Science Cares and lead in driving systemic change for healthier communities,” said Wendy Short Bartie, executive vice president of corporate affairs for BMS.
More than 40 million Americans struggle with food insecurity every year, including 1 in 5 children.
