2. New Backpacks and School Supplies Donated by Taylor Farms to Give First Graders a Boost to Success

   3:39 pm

   Remember the feeling you had on your first day of school with your brand new backpack and a fresh set of school supplies? For the last six years, Taylor Farms has made sure thousands of local first graders are able to experience that same excitement. As a leader in providing great salads and healthy fresh foods, a significant part of Taylor Farms’ company culture is giving back to communities through education.

   Last week marked the sixth consecutive year Taylor Farms employees, in conjunction with Golden State Foods, provided backpacks filled with school supplies to every registered first grader at four local elementary schools; Roosevelt, Los Padres, Frank Paul, and Alisal Community.

   “At Taylor Farms, we believe every student should have the opportunity to succeed,” said Bruce Taylor, chairman and CEO, Taylor Farms. “Giving back through education is a way to secure a strong future for America.”

   Taylor Farms’ local backpack program is one of the company’s most beloved annual philanthropic events. Employees are involved from start to finish – filling the backpacks with supplies and participating in the giveaway ceremonies at each school. Last week over 600 backpacks were distributed to Salinas based elementary schools and to date, Taylor Farms has distributed over 7,000 backpacks. In addition to supporting local schools, Taylor Farms has expanded the back-to-school giving to include children of many company employees.

   “Taylor Farms is one of the key and long-standing partners of the GSF Foundation,” said Anna Lisa Biason, executive director, GSF Foundation. “It’s through our relationship that we are able to collectively make an impact on children and families in need.”

   We believe that providing children with a strong start through education is essential to improving the quality of life in our local communities.

   Taylor Farms wants to thank its employees for their consistent philanthropic efforts in donating their time and talent to good causes year after year. To celebrate National Philanthropy Day, we are highlighting some of the amazing ways Team Taylor has helped others this past year. Throughout 2016, Taylor Farms has supported initiatives including Labor of Love, American Heart Association’s Heart & Stroke Walk, a local backpack giving program and American Cancer Society Celebration of Life.

   Philanthropy has been a part of Taylor Farms’ culture since the beginning, starting with CEO Bruce Taylor’s grandfather leading the charge in establishing the local Salinas hospital in the 1940s. This effort is now company wide; we’re proud that we’re able to provide every Taylor Farms operating company the opportunity to give back to their community and that our employees embody the true spirit of philanthropy.

   Though our employees don’t do it for any recognition, we’re honored that their commitment to philanthropy was wonderfully recognized last week when Taylor Farms Pacific was presented with the Outstanding Corporation award at the National Philanthropy Day event at the AFP California Capital Chapter-San Joaquin Extension summit. The Boys and Girls Club of Tracy nominated us for this award and we’re so appreciative that they thought of our team and wanted to recognize all of their hard work.

   Earlier this week, 40 kids and teens, ages 6-18, from the Monterey Boys & Girls Club (BGC) Summer Academy gathered at Taylor Farms headquarters to showcase their Summer S.T.E.A.M. projects to their parents and families, Taylor Farms employees, and the BGC staff, including Monterey BGC CEO, Michael L. Jackson and Director, Miranda Jackson.

   

   This was the perfect opportunity for the kids and teens to demonstrate all they have learned this summer about science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. The showcased projects included:

   • Read Naturally – An interactive, computer based reading comprehension program
   • Magic Beans – Literary inspired architectural creations using building blocks
   • Smart Art – Electrical painting on canvases using computers
   • ClayTech – Producing and editing mini clay animation movies displayed on iPads

   

   “This year’s Summer Academy has again been outstanding thanks to the support of our key partner Taylor Farms,” said Monterey BGC CEO Michael L. Jackson. “Over 500 children a day have participated in programs at the Salinas and Seaside Clubhouse. Attendance has been consistently high and the kids show up every day eager to learn, go on field trips, interact with their peers, and be guided by caring teachers, aides and volunteers.”

   Taylor Farms was happy to host the Summer S.T.E.A.M. Showcase, providing the space to display and discuss the projects with office employees.

   “We were thrilled to be able to sponsor the Boys and Girls Club Summer Art Academy,” says Mark Borman, President, Taylor Farms California and BGC Board Member. “It’s inspiring to see these kids’ imagination and creativity expressed through their final art projects”.  

   Our team at Taylor Farms has enjoyed our long term partnership with the BGC of Monterey and looks forward to many more events where we can support the talent and development of our local youth!
