Employee volunteer participation nearly doubles in program’s second year

Broomfield, Colo. (January 13, 2026) – Swisslog Healthcare, a global supplier in healthcare automation solutions with U.S. headquarters in Broomfield, reports record-breaking participation in its Volunteer Time Off (VTO) Program during 2025. Swisslog Healthcare employees contributed 808 volunteer hours to community service initiatives, representing a 38% increase from the previous year and demonstrating the company’s growing commitment to the greater Denver community.

The VTO Program, which launched in March 2024, saw significant growth in its second year with over 100 employees participating, compared to approximately 60 volunteers in 2024. Employees engaged in various impactful projects throughout the year, including packaging 79,712 pounds of food at Food Bank of the Rockies, which fed 66,426 people, and creating 6,751 bags for the same organization, providing 40,506 pounds of produce to households in need.

“Swisslog Healthcare takes great pride in giving back to our local communities, and the enthusiasm our team has shown for the VTO program speaks volumes,” said Cory Kwarta, CEO of Swisslog Healthcare. “Our employees have found local causes they’re passionate about, from food banks to veterans’ projects. We remain committed to supporting and encouraging this spirit of giving back as the program continues to evolve and make a difference in our communities.”

The VTO Program allows employees to choose where they want to make an impact, resulting in diverse community support across multiple organizations. The program’s growth reflects Swisslog Healthcare’s dedication to fostering a culture of community engagement. In addition to the significant work with Food Bank of the Rockies, employees volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, Veterans Community Project in Longmont, and A Precious Child. The company also organized a giving tree for A Precious Child during the holiday season.

“It’s remarkable to see the diverse ways our employees choose to volunteer their time and talents in the community,” said Melody Watkins, Executive Assistant to the CEO of Swisslog Healthcare. “From building homes to packaging food, each person brings their unique skills to these volunteer opportunities. This program has become an important part of our company culture and identity.”

Looking ahead to 2026, Swisslog Healthcare plans to build on this momentum by expanding volunteer opportunities and encouraging even greater participation.
