Morgan Stanley Volunteers for Red Cross

Employees of Morgan Stanley’s Fairfield office participated in Global Volunteer Month by volunteering with the American Red Cross. Each June, employees from Morgan Stanley offices around the globe participate in a variety of activities to help local communities, from building playgrounds for underserved children to packaging food to support local food pantries and shelters. Last month, Morgan Stanley packaged millions of meals worldwide to help fight childhood hunger, and the Morgan Stanley Foundation donated $750,000 to Food Banks across the country.

Here, Fairfield staffers wash a Red Cross Disaster Relief Vehicle in the Brick Walk parking lot during Global Volunteer Month. After participating in blood drives and stuffing thousands of envelopes with disaster-preparedness pamphlets for distribution, the Fairfield Morgan Stanley staff wanted to do even more. The team wasted no time stepping up with soap and sponges to get the vehicle clean.
