Throughout 2023, 58 Superfresh Growers employees participated in various volunteer activities, ranging from local food drives to environmental cleanup projects. The company encouraged this spirit of community involvement by providing its employees with paid time off to engage in volunteer work, reflecting its commitment to corporate social responsibility and the well-being of the local community.

Superfresh Growers employees volunteered their time in the kitchen, helping make more than 1,100 sandwiches for the Yakima Union Gospel Mission’s search and rescue team and distributing food to those in need, reinforcing the company's commitment to fighting hunger in the community.

Recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship, the team participated in local park cleanups, trail maintenance, and conservancy with Cowiche Canyon Conservancy and the Yakima Greenway, contributing to a greener and more sustainable community. The team took a significant step toward environmental conservation by volunteering to build gabions for the Cowiche Conservancy trail. The gabions, constructed by the Superfresh volunteers, are essential for preventing soil erosion and maintaining the natural landscape along the popular trail. This effort reflects the dedication of Superfresh Growers to environmental sustainability and fosters a stronger connection with the local community and the natural world.

Soldier's Angels is a distinguished nonprofit that encourages volunteers to create and send handwritten notes and cards, offering comfort, gratitude and support to active-duty members, veterans in VA Hospitals and deployed service members. Employees from Superfresh Growers have enthusiastically participated, crafting 379 personal messages of appreciation and encouragement throughout the course of the year. This collaboration demonstrates the powerful impact of collective effort in supporting those who bravely serve the nation.

Superfresh Growers' commitment to community service is integral to its corporate ethos. The company plans to continue and expand its community service efforts in 2024, aiming to surpass the impressive benchmark set in the previous year.
