Justin’s Aids Fight Against Hunger in Boulder Area

Boulder , Colo.
“As a Boulder-based company, supporting organizations close to us has always been something we are ‘nuts’ about,” said Justin Gold, company founder. “As a natural food company, we are uniquely positioned to support hunger-relief efforts and we’re excited to boost our yearly efforts again this September for Hunger Action Month. We are honored to be donating to Metro Caring and Conscious Alliance again this year and continue our commitment to giving back, doing our part to help provide for those in need.”
Mike Guanella, president of Justin’s added, “We are proud to join these organizations and help support hunger-relief right here in our hometown. As a team, we hope our donation will encourage other companies within the natural products community to support organizations such as these, and to join us in the ongoing fight against hunger. On behalf of Justin’s, we are committed to doing our part in making a difference.”
To date, in 2018 Justin’s has volunteered over 200 employee hours in support of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives core to the brand, including hunger-relief and pollinator conservation programs, in addition to providing product and monetary support to both local and national partners. As the brand grows, Justin’s continues to support healthy communities through their CSR initiatives.
