“These results show how Lam employees, more than ever, live our company’s purpose and Core Values,” says Jenny Braunlin, manager of Volunteerism and Employee Giving. “I am proud of all our employees who volunteered their time during Deliver Joy. Their activism during this campaign and throughout the year helped us exceed our 2022 volunteer hour goal.”
From packing food at our local food banks to writing cards for isolated seniors, our calendars were filled with events across our global offices. Here are some stories that inspired us.

In the US, Jessica Kyzer, Environmental, Health & Safety engineer, organized four volunteer events for employees in our offices in Tualatin, OR. During one event, she brought together 20 employees to create STEM education kits to encourage students to explore the sciences – sustainably. These kits would allow students to build a solar-powered cell phone or device charger. “I was extremely thrilled that several engineers came out to build these kits,” says Jessica. “They even brought their own supplies like electrical tape and wire cutters.” Volunteering comes naturally to Jessica, who’s been giving back to her community since high school. “I want to inspire others through these opportunities,” she says. |

In Taiwan, employees recorded children’s stories in English for Waker, a local nonprofit focused on improving children’s education. Amanda Tsai, field service engineer, says “it was meaningful to contribute to children’s English learning in Taiwan. Deliver Joy reminds us that we could always deliver a bit of joy to other people. It’s really nice to put down our tasks for a while, and simply care about others during this time.” |

Since 2018, Beate Wurzer, buyer in Pilot Supply Chain, and Tanja Zemasch, business operations analyst, have organized a “Secret Santa” gift drive for Haus Herrnhilf, a non-profit supporting children and young adults in Austria. “The news of our drive spread quickly among our respective teams and beyond, and we had roughly 50 colleagues wanting to join within a few hours,” says Tanja. “The group has largely remained unchanged since then; we even have a waiting list. Whenever a spot on the list becomes available, we can instantly fill it.” In 2022, the group donated 61 gifts to Haus Herrnhilf, along with in-kind donations including winter clothing, board games, and more. |
