Vanderbilt, as a firm that adheres to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs,) supports the efforts of organizations that are committed to eliminating world hunger. One of these organizations that we regularly pledge our support to is the Interfaith Nutrition Network (The INN,) a charity whose primary focus is to provide Long Islanders food and nutrition to those in need.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, the world’s annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind. The Vanderbilt family has been greatly impacted by the effects of the opioid crisis as one of our most beloved advisors, John Brower, lost his son to opiate addiction at the age of 25.
