Principal Financial Group® and the Principal ® Foundation, both of which are affiliated with Principal Asset Management, are collaborating with local businesses and non-profit organisations to help individuals and families in more than 30 countries around the world. They encourage participation in giving by providing food or ordering products in the community that come from local businesses such as restaurants, cafes, etc. to help those in need.

The Chef Charity Project is recruiting volunteer chefs to help creating gourmet dishes for the medical personnel who are treating patients at Thailand's main Covid-19 hospital in Bangkok.
