September 2023: Month of Impact
Extending our year-round community support efforts, the second annual Month of Impact in September included companywide employee participation through volunteerism and donations for our neighbors in need. With a focus on sustainability, employees championed a number of activities with this theme in mind including trash pickup, recycling programs, food, diaper and winter clothing drives and shoe donation programs.
- Employees volunteered approximately 2,100 hours during the month and sponsored 52 events/activities. Companywide, we also donated 13,250 lbs of cheese in September.
To encourage making an impact throughout the month, employees volunteered their time as teams, as well as individually, helping various nonprofit organizations nationally. This fostered many avenues for getting involved given differing schedules and availabilities at our locations across the country. Established in 2015, the Leprino Foods Company Foundation has donated over $4.22 million to various nonprofit organizations.
