Giving back is at the heart of who we are. Following the ribbon-cutting for our new Kansas City Import-Export Hub, Americold partnered with Feed the Children and our valued customers to support our neighbors in need. Together, we distributed food and hygiene essentials to local families—living out our core value of giving back and strengthening the communities where we live and work.

At Americold, we know that when people feel seen, celebrated, and connected, they stay for decades—not just because it’s a job, but because it feels like home. That’s the power of belonging. Here’s what Team Manager, Tai Tusi Mau, has to say about Americold’s culture of belonging.
We’re proud to share that more than 50 associates from our U.S. East Region volunteered at the Girls on the Run Philadelphia Spring 5K! 🏃♀️💜 As part of our Women in Americold initiative - dedicated to professional development, community engagement, and building a culture of belonging - our team brought the energy with cheer stations, water stations, and finish line support for over 1,800 runners. In partnership with Girls on the Run International, this inspiring event was a celebration of confidence, community, and fun - and a reflection of our commitment to giving back and empowering the next generation. #GOTRPhilly #GirlsOnTheRun #WomenInAmericold #CommunityImpact #EmployerOfChoice
