Melville Employees Assemble 1,500 Hygiene Kits For Families Of Sick Children

MELVILLE, NY — Employees at Henry Schein’s Melville headquarters came together on April 16 to support families facing medical challenges, assembling more than 1,500 hygiene kits that will be distributed through Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The effort, held last week, brought together Team Schein Members (TSMs) to pack kits filled with everyday essentials, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash and other personal care items. The supplies are intended to ease some of the daily burdens for families caring for children undergoing serious medical treatment.

The kits will be distributed through the New York Metro chapter of Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides housing, support and resources for families who need to stay close to hospitals while their children receive care.

The initiative is part of Henry Schein’s “We Care Global Challenge,” a companywide effort that mobilizes employees around the world to assemble care kits and support underserved communities. The program operates under Henry Schein Cares, the company’s global corporate citizenship platform focused on expanding access to health care and improving community well-being.

By contributing essential hygiene supplies, organizers said the goal is not only to meet immediate needs but also to provide a sense of comfort and dignity during what can be an especially difficult time for families.
