Food insecurity doesn’t always look the way we expect. It’s stretching groceries at home to last one more week or a parent skipping dinner so their child can eat. Today’s the start of GSF Foundation’s month, and our 33 associate-led committees across the U.S. are stepping up to support local families in need. ❤️ From sorting food and harvesting produce to funding and strengthening food bank partnerships, Golden State Foods, Quality Custom Distribution, and KanPak volunteers are making a real difference—one community, one family, and one meal at a time. 💪

Happy National Volunteer Week! We’re celebrating the incredible people who power the Golden State Foods Foundation—our volunteers. You show up, get involved, and make a real difference 🌟

In 2025 alone, 228 volunteers gave 20 hours or more each, contributing to 13,000+ collective service hours. Since the very beginning, our volunteer community together has dedicated 330,000+ hours of time, talent, and heart. That impact is huge, and it’s all because of you.

Across our 33 volunteer-led committees across the U.S., your service and care highlight a simple truth: “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.”

Thank you for choosing to do something for children and families in the local communities where GSF associates work and live. ❤️
