"Our vision at Endo is to improve the lives of the patients we serve.

In total, nearly 650 employees of Endo across multiple locations around the world are donating their workday as part of Endo Gives Day, contributing more than 2,000 hours to local charities. Endo Gives Day activities support individuals struggling to secure basic necessities from food to housing and education to healthcare and include the following:

• Malvern, Pa: At Endo's U.S. headquarters, nearly 200 employees will volunteer at seven organizations across the area, including Chester County Food Bank, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Cradles to Crayons, Habitat for Humanity, Main Line Animal Rescue, Philadelphia Freedom Valley YMCA and The Pathway School. At CHOP, Endo employees are working with hospitalized children and their families, playing games and helping them with arts and crafts that they can use to decorate their rooms.
• Dublin, Ireland: At Endo's global headquarters, employees will volunteer at Barretstown Camp, a specially designed camp that provides therapeutic recreation programs for children with serious illnesses and their families. The Dublin-based volunteers will donate their time painting, gardening and cleaning the facility, as well as present a 2,256 (Euro) donation, which was raised through an employee-led bake sale. 
• Huntsville, Ala.: Employees at Qualitest, Endo's U.S. generics business, are partnering for the second consecutive year with Manna House, which provides food, clothes and household goods to Huntsville residents in need. Over three weeks, employees will hold a non-perishable food drive for Manna House, and then they will spend the day stocking shelves and bagging and distributing food.
