Case Study: Going the Extra Mile - United Way

The United Way of Greater Houston creates opportunities for people to improve their wellbeing through financial stability, health care and youth programs.

Woodside has partnered with United Way for numerous years, hosting an annual campaign for employee fundraising and volunteering opportunities at United Way agencies.

In 2024, the theme, ‘Go the Extra Mile’, highlighted the importance of going above and beyond to assist the Houston community members, ensuring they receive necessary support. “It’s incredible to see the unity and generosity of our Houston team. Each effort, no matter how small, reflects our commitment to building stronger communities together,” said Woodside EVP and COO International, Daniel Kalms.

Throughout the three-week campaign, Woodside’s Houston-based employees joined forces through various volunteering activities and fundraising efforts, demonstrating our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.

In 2024 the campaign resulted in US$700,000 for United Way, including a donation from Woodside. These funds will be directed to over two million Houston residents, offering essential services and resources such as food and basic supplies.
