West Michigan is coming together during these challenging times and Perrigo is leading the way.
Tom Farrington, Executive Vice President & Chief Information Officer and President of the Perrigo Foundation talks about how they're making an impact with strategic funds for organizations serving the needs of families right in our backyard.
Like Perrigo, many organizations are critical to the communities and families who depend on them as a vital resource.
