Annual Season of Giving Promotion Benefits Three Organizations
GLENVILLE, Ga. (Feb. 17, 2023) During the months of November & December, G&R Farms partnered with three regional retail operators throughout the United States to raise $8,000 in donations for three charities and food banks during their third annual Season of Giving promotional campaign.
G&R Farms works with participating retailers who choose their charity or food bank partner within their communities and G&R Farms donates a portion of proceeds from all Peruvian onions sold during the promotion period at that retailer.
“We are proud to have continued this program in 2022. Giving back is at the core of who we are at G&R Farms and we’re grateful to have retail partners who feel the same,” commented Blake Dasher, CEO of G&R Farms. He continued, “Concern over food affordability is rampant in our country with Feeding America reporting 34 million people in the U.S. currently experiencing food insecurity, reaching 100% of U.S. counties. That is an incredible burden that we are honored to help alleviate in any way we can.”
A third-generation family farm, G&R takes their responsibility as an industry leader seriously and makes it a priority to give back. Season of Giving, along with their spring/summer Growing America’s Farmer campaign collectively raised more than $120,000 during the 2022 fiscal year to support community food organizations, as well as provide grants and scholarships for future agriculture professionals.
Dasher closed by saying, “2022 was a record-breaking charitable year for us. We’ve already started planning for our 2023 charitable projects, and we’re looking to break records, again.”
