If you are looking for a little snack, making a meal, or reaching for dessert – here’s a list of food companies to add some feel good flavor. You don’t have to give big, to give back! Sometimes all it takes is a bar, a side dish, or a scoop of something extra special.
NEWMAN’S OWN
“Let’s Give It All Away” – Paul Newman
This founding principle has been transforming lives since 1982 when Newman’s Own committed to donating 100% of profits to charity. During the summer of 2020, every salad dressing purchased helped a child with a serious illness have a special virtual camp experience. Newman’s Own also donated $1 million to SeriousFun Children’s Network for unforgettable camp experiences, where kids aren’t defined by their illness.
