Helping Hands banner

Schwan’s Company was built one friendship at a time. Since 1952, our employees have worked tirelessly to build the company through hard work, care for our customers, and care for one another. We pitch in and help each other at work every day, yet sometimes one of our team members needs help at home.

Introducing the Schwan’s Helping Hands Fund.

The Helping Hands Fund is an employee-funded program designed to help our coworkers, your friends, when they’re facing unexpected financial adversity due to an emergency. Every dollar collected will go directly to Schwan's employees to help ease their burden during a time of need. And the company will match all contributions $2 for $1.

One Table, One Team — We’re Stronger Together.

Mike Pulcanio Quote
“Since its launch in 2023, Schwan’s Helping Hands Fund has made an immediate and significant impact on the lives of employees during their time of need. Helping one another has been a part of our culture for more than 70 years, and the Schwan’s Helping Hands Fund gives us a real opportunity to help our fellow employees overcome unexpected hardships. Over the years, I’ve received many requests following unexpected and unforeseen events that co-workers go through – how can I help? Where can I contribute something to help the co-worker through their challenging events? The Helping Hands fund does just that. You can contribute anytime, and know that the funds will only be used to help co-workers. I hope you will consider joining me in donating today. Mike Pulcanio, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
