"Giving back to our community is a crucial part of the work we do at Blount,” said William Bigelow, Chief Operating Officer of Blount. “Our employees not only take great pride in making the best products for our customers, but they truly care about lending a helping hand to those in our local communities.”
One of the many organizations that Blount supported was The Elisha Project. Founded in 2011, the organization seeks to educate, inspire, and motivate people from all over the world across age, political, faith, socio-economic, and cultural backgrounds to change communities through service. Blount donated over 18,000 servings of food to the organization and helped provide meals for in-need families throughout Rhode Island.
“Our partnership with Blount Fine Foods is essential in the fight against food insecurity, as it enables us to provide nutritious meals to those in need while also minimizing food waste,” said George Ortiz Jr., Founder of The Elisha Project. “This collaboration addresses immediate hunger and fosters a sense of hope and community resilience. Together, we are feeding communities and working towards a more sustainable future."
Blount’s food donations have impacted communities across all their locations including McKinney, Texas, where Blount also produces a wide variety of foods. Feed The Children, a national nonprofit that provides children and families with food and essentials has received food donations from Blount Fine Foods since 2010.
“The donations we have received have made a local impact in Northern Texas with our community partners such as Midwest Food Bank-Texas Division, Community Food Bank, Dare 2 Inc., and Belknap Ministries. Our partners have reported back on how their children & families love the delicious and nutritious soup. We are grateful for the impact of tackling food insecurity in our community with our partnership with Blount Fine Foods,” said Deborah Montey, Director of GIK partnerships.
