At National Food Group, the compass that drives the company's direction is to do the right thing. ALWAYS.
Project SERVE's mission is to use innovation and service to impact our communities. Project SERVE is our corporate social responsibility strategy where we pledge a minimum of 5% of our earnings, along with our time and talents to help make food more accessible, provide opportunities and resources for individuals seeking a career in the food industry, and supporting our global environment. We are proud to share what 2021 brought us in our first annual report Click Here To Download The 2021 Project SERVE Annual Report
Our corporate social responsibility initiatives allows us to divide our resources into five areas of focus that allow us to honor our commitment to the community. The five program initiatives include:
Secure Food & Funding Help alleviate food insecurity by matching food and funds with communities in need.
Educate Provide opportunities and resources for students of all ages and backgrounds to learn about the food industry and its many career paths.
Respect Diversity Focus on being a leader in the industry for an inclusive and equitable environment.
Volunteer Improve the lives of our neighbors through use of our time, talents, and treasures.
Elevate Sustainability Continue and expand sustainability practices at National Food Group with help from our customers and vendors.
As our company has grown, so has our commitment to the community, so let’s take a look at how we got here. Knowing that 40 million Americans face hunger each day, we wanted to take the first step. By creating the Step 1 program we were able to feed local families, reduce food waste, and help create a more sustainable environment. In 2021, we expanded these efforts into our new Project SERVE initiatives.
