Late last week and into the weekend, Hurricane Helene devastated many parts of the Southeast, personally impacting several Walgreens team members and closing dozens of our store locations. I am beyond proud of our teams who have been working tirelessly to deliver aid to our team members in the affected areas, including financial assistance from the Walgreen Benefit Fund, as well as the teams who are taking care of the communities that need us. We are working to resume operations as soon as possible because we know how important it is to be available to our customers. Starting today, we’ve activated a national PIN pad program with the American Red Cross where customers can donate at checkout to the relief efforts, and Walgreens will also make a $100,000 donation to the American Red Cross Hurricane Helene Fund. Additionally, we are donating water and other urgent supplies for the communities in need. The safety of our team members and customers is and will always be our team’s top priority, and we will continue to do everything we can to support those who are impacted by Hurricane Helene. #HurricaneHelene #ReliefEfforts #TeamWalgreens

Happy 110th birthday to Mary Cantway! 🎂 Mary—one of the oldest women in Chicagoland—celebrated her milestone birthday with friends and family this week. To help make the occasion both healthy and happy, Walgreens pharmacy manager Peter Erickson made a visit to Mary’s home in Homewood, Illinois, two weeks before the party to administer flu and COVID-19 vaccines, bringing Mary flowers and balloons.

Nearly 43 million Americans are burdened with student loan debt and often choose to postpone investing in their futures. Walgreens wants to help eliminate this tough decision for its team members with a new Student Loan 401(k) Match Program that treats student loan payments like contributions to the Walgreens Retirement Savings Plan. It is a concept that Walgreens hopes will catch on with other large employers – read about it at https://lnkd.in/duFDx6QH. #TeamMember #Benefits #401k #StudentLoan #Investing
