LENDING HELP IS MORE THAN JUST OUR DAY JOB
"Our employees want to help - it's what they do for customers every day. And that same drive to lend a helping hand extends beyond the four walls of our branches and into the communities where our employees live and work. Our hallmark at Grainger is exceptional customer service, but we’re proud to do even more for our local neighborhoods and local customers through our community service."
- James T. Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer

Whether it's finding a motor for a downed assembly line or sourcing 1,000 fasteners for same-day delivery, Grainger is committed to helping customers find quick solutions for their facility maintenance needs. The same Grainger expertise that enables customers to get the job done also translates to local communities, where the company is paving the way as a thought leader in disaster preparedness and response and technical education through strategic charitable contributions and community initiatives.
In 2008, the total value of Grainger's charitable contributions - including product and cash donations - was $13 million.
