• From June 26 to July 4, Four Seasons Produce, Inc. donated $0.10 for every case of produce sold in an effort to help local families and individuals faced with hunger.
• In total, $33,247.30 was raised to aid several regional food banks.
• A one-dollar donation can translate into seven meals.
That last fact bears repeating when you consider the following information: It was a proud day for our family of companies recently when the total amount raised for Feeding America was revealed. Some $33,000 dollars later, we are so proud of our Four Seasons family team as well as our 13 suppliers, customers and partners who contributed to this worthy cause. We would personally like to thank Graul's Market, Karns Foods, Cornucopia Natural Foods, RMG, Fresh Express, Earthbound Farms/Advantage Sales and Marketing, Dole Fresh Cut Vegetables, Mother Earth, McKonly and Asbury, Lift Inc., First National Bank, AFS and Office Service Company.
More than 202,000 cases of produce were sold during the Feeding America fundraiser, equating into more than $20,000 contributed by Four Seasons Produce along with in-kind donations of $1,500 and $5,000 from sister companies Earth Source Trading and Sunrise Logistics.
The collective step forward made in this effort to combat hunger was virtually painless and the right thing to do given our position in the produce industry. The fundraiser may be over, but Four Seasons Produce and its family of companies plan to support the regional food banks through donations of fresh produce as we have done for many years.
