In conjunction with Conductive Containers’ “Buy a Box, Give a Meal” (BAMGAM) program, DigiKey reported providing nearly 39,000 meals to refugees along the border of Thailand and Myanmar.

Conductive Containers, a Minnesota-based company specializing in containers and materials that are electrostatic discharge (ESD)-safe, partnered with the Minnesota-based nonprofit organization Venture to create the program, which ensures that Conductive Containers will match 1% of express product purchases, doubling the donation to provide meals to refugee children in Thailand and Myanmar. Over the past year, DigiKey’s business with Conductive Containers resulted in nearly 39,000 meals donated through BABGAM.

“We are deeply honored to know that our business with Conductive Containers is making a difference in the lives of those in need,” said Mike Slater, vice president of global business development at DigiKey. “We appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the Buy a Box, Give a Meal program and provide essential nourishment to refugee children in Thailand and Myanmar.”

Many of those escaping crisis situations in Myanmar and surrounding areas find sanctuary inside the border of Thailand. Programs like Conductive Containers’ BAMGAM program ensure these families receive nutritious meals and other necessary care.
