How We Nourish Our Communities
Our Commitment
In 2022, we committed $5 million over the next ten years to nourish the physical, mental and social-emotional wellbeing of youth and communities across the U.S. This commitment is in support of the company’s Growers of Good™ purpose to grow a healthier and more hopeful tomorrow by making nutritious foods more accessible to all.
Nutrition Education
Caring for communities is one of the most effective ways we fulfill our purpose of responsibly making nutritious foods more accessible to all. Nutrition is foundational to a healthy, thriving community, and yet, many communities have historically lacked the access and education they need and deserve.
Community Partnerships
Our commitment to nourishing our communities goes beyond nutrition education. We strive to support inclusive organizations that provide additional resources to diverse communities promoting better mental, financial, and physical health to individuals most in need.
Donations and Volunteering
When everyone does a little, we can make great things happen. Whether volunteering at a local food bank, building hygiene and baby care kits, or donating blood, we inspire our team members to give back to their communities, encouraging them to act where they’re most needed.
