Delta Air Lines has been recognized as one of Massachusetts’ most charitable companies, receiving the Corporate Citizenship Award. The airline is noted as the most charitable airline in the state and is the only commercial carrier included on this year’s list.
The recognition highlights Delta’s ongoing involvement in the Boston area through strategic investments, partnerships, and employee volunteerism. The company emphasizes that its contributions extend beyond airport operations, focusing on community support throughout the region.
Earlier this year, Delta provided a grant to the Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) to help expand refrigeration capacity. This expansion aims to enable GBFB to distribute up to 10 million additional pounds of fresh produce, dairy products, protein, and eggs annually to families across Eastern Massachusetts. In addition to financial assistance, Delta employees have volunteered at GBFB by participating in warehouse shifts and mobile markets.
Delta also recently operated a charter flight for Honor Flight New England, transporting veterans to Washington, D.C., as an expression of appreciation for their service.
The airline supports numerous other nonprofit organizations in Greater Boston. These include the American Red Cross, Boston Children’s Hospital, Head of The Charles Regatta, Junior Achievement of Greater Boston, KIPP Massachusetts, Museum of Science, Speak for the Trees, Marine Toys for Tots, UNCF, USO New England and YMCA – Greater Boston.
“Delta is investing in the Boston community, and Delta’s contributions and employee volunteer efforts are getting recognized by our customers,” said Candice Stover, General Manager, New England Sales. “We are thrilled to be chosen as one of Massachusetts most charitable companies.”
This recognition underscores Delta’s commitment to building long-term relationships with local organizations and supporting initiatives that benefit residents across the region.
