The volunteer work benefitted a variety of community members including 6,650 patients and their family members and 2,669 veterans. Employees also contributed another 4,000 hours of their time to local nonprofits by taking advantage of the Astellas Volunteer Time Off program, which provides employees up to five paid days a year to volunteer at a qualified nonprofit of their choice.
