Community Resilience
At Lockheed Martin, we recognize the important role we play in the collective effort to build and sustain thriving communities where we live and work.?
As part of our commitment, we focus on equipping these communities with basic essential needs such as food security and disaster preparedness, response and recovery.? ?
We are also dedicated to advancing environmental sustainability by partnering with proven organizations that are advancing equitable climate adaptation strategies and carbon reduction through nature-based solutions, such as coastal marsh conservation, living shorelines, habitat restoration and forest stewardship.? ?

Tackling Food Insecurity
To address the growing food insecurity crisis affecting numerous communities nationwide, we are taking a proactive approach to help those who struggle to access adequate and nutritious food, especially in our local communities and in the military and veteran population.?
To achieve this, we have partnered with food banks across the country to provide financial resources and volunteer support. Our contributions are aimed at helping these food banks expand their reach and provide essential services to those in need.?
Partner Highlights
Annual Disaster Giving Program
As a member of the Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP), Lockheed Martin provides essential support before disasters hit, enabling the Red Cross to stock warehouses with lifesaving supplies like nonperishable food and blankets. The ARC helps train disaster response volunteers, who make up 90% of the ARC workforce, and keep the fleet of 340 emergency response vehicles ready to deliver food and supplies at a moment's notice. ADGP members also assist communities in identifying and meeting local preparedness needs such as home fire prevention, by supporting smoke alarm installations in at-risk homes.
Service to the Armed Forces
The ARC Service to the Armed Forces (ARCSAF) helps military members, veterans, and their families prepare for, cope with, and respond to the challenges of military service. Each year, ARCSAF provides more than 510,000 services by leveraging a network of some 265,000 volunteers around the world. The ARC has been serving the military for more than 140 years and provides in-person support for troops on more than 100 military installations and deployment sites worldwide, and is the only organization chartered by the U.S. Congress to furnish volunteer aid to the military sick/wounded during times of war.????
