Our food brokerage services team loves giving back to the community. In recognition of National Nonprofit Day 2022 on Aug. 17, we’re celebrating our team’s charitable efforts and the many amazing nonprofits we proudly support.
More than a Food Brokerage Services Company
At Bay Food Brokerage, we are proud to foster a company culture that places great importance on serving our community. Simply put, we believe in giving back and getting involved.
This means our team members:
- Serve on nonprofit and professional association boards
- Volunteer their time to charities
- Belong to industry and business organizations
We host group volunteering opportunities and sponsor fundraising events. Also, we give every member of our team paid time off to volunteer with a charity of their choosing each month.
Below are some of the many organizations our food brokerage services company and our team members are involved in and support.
