The California Giant Foundation

The California Giant Foundation The support of the California Giant Foundation is defined by four pillars that serve as the inspiration for charitable gifts, events and partnerships.

The California Giant Foundation was established in 2015 by the founders of California Giant Berry Farms as way to formalize their ongoing dedication to supporting local charitable organizations and causes. Providing support in these areas will serve as a way for California Giant Berry Farms employees to give back to the community through organizations that are making a positive change in the healt

h and wellness of current and future generations. These four pillars include:

Childhood Obesity and School Nutrition – encourage healthy food stability within schools and increase the demand for food education. Hunger and Food Insecurity – support to local homeless and hunger-based organizations that seek to significantly decrease the number of hungry families in the community. Prevention and Awareness – national and local support is given to organizations that affect change by educating and increasing awareness about prevalent diseases that affect so many. Community – support of local health and fitness initiatives that benefit employees of California Giant Berry Farms and their families.
