Baxter Planning Continues Commitment to Charitable Giving
Culture of Giving Includes Community Service and Employee Match Program
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Baxter Planning, the pioneer and recognized leader in service parts planning and optimization solutions, closes out the year with a charitable donation as an alternative to customer gifts this holiday season. Baxter's contribution to Direct Relief marks the 5th year the company has opted for a donation in its customers' name in lieu of gifts.
Direct Relief is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with a stated mission to "improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergency situations by mobilizing and providing essential medical resources needed for their care."
