Although COVID-19 made in-person, inter-country volunteerism a challenge, our volunteers didn’t let that stop them. We created an innovative alternative: virtual service opportunities that kept BD volunteers connected with communities around the world and to our culture of service. In 2021 and early 2022, BD volunteers from 14 countries participated in company-sponsored, virtual volunteer service projects, each of which sought to expand healthcare access among vulnerable populations. Celebrating service: BD Volunteers of the Year The Henry P. Becton Volunteer Impact Awards celebrate the achievements of our BD “Volunteers of the Year” by issuing philanthropic grants to the nonprofit organizations they serve. In 2021, BD awarded grants totaling $80,000 to 20 nonprofit organizations around the world, recognizing the community service of 20 BD volunteers from 10 countries.
