Packing Hope in Every Kit: How Team Schein Helped Families Worldwide

At Henry Schein, we believe small acts of care can make a big difference. That spirit came to life during our fifth annual We Care Global Challenge, where nearly 2,000 Team Schein Members (TSMs) from across the globe assembled more than 20,000 hygiene kits for families with children facing serious medical challenges.

Intended to provide hope and comfort, TSMs filled each kit with personal hygiene items such as toothpaste, mouthwash, floss picks, hand sanitizer, and lotion. See Team Schein in action, packing care into every kit.

TSMs in the U.S., Australia, China, and the U.K. built kits at national sales meetings, Henry Schein offices, and distribution centers. In partnership with Heart to Heart International, the kits are distributed globally through Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Since 2018, Team Schein has built more than 110,000 kits, helping families worldwide and supporting organizations such as Save the Children, the German Breast Cancer Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, the McGrath Foundation, and the American Cancer Society. More than 8,000 TSMs have contributed to these efforts, reflecting Henry Schein’s commitment to Helping Health Happen for people and communities in need.
