Oss, 16 December 2025

Pivot Park, the biopharmaceutical campus in Oss, today presented a donation of €3,000 together with a large quantity of long-life food products, including rice and pasta, to Food Bank Oss. The cheque was presented by Brigitte Drees, CEO of Pivot Park, to Henk Snijders and Carla de Jong of Food Bank Oss.

With this financial contribution and the donated food products, Pivot Park aims to support the Food Bank in its important mission to provide food assistance to households in Oss that are temporarily unable to meet their basic needs. Thanks to the dedication of many volunteers, the Food Bank distributes weekly food parcels to residents who need them most.

During the presentation, Brigitte Drees emphasised the importance of local engagement:

“At Pivot Park, we believe it is important to give something back to the community in which we work and grow. That is why we proudly support Food Bank Oss every year. Their work is indispensable for so many families, and we are pleased to contribute.”

Food Bank Oss expressed its sincere gratitude for the support. The donation will help the organisation to cope with the increasing demand for food assistance and to support more families in the Oss region.
