Corporate Social Responsibility

G&C Foods’ Commitment to Community

“The last two years have been very difficult for our community. In that time, we’ve added services such as daycare to help get people back on their feet. G&C’s generous donation will help us keep those services intact. We are grateful for G&C’s support and their recognition of the valuable work we do in our community.”

Amy Leotta
Fulton Family YMCA Executive Director

Over the years, G&C Foods has embodied the true spirit of corporate social responsibility, and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate citizenship. Our culture and values are rooted in service, integrity, and taking personal responsibility for our actions, outcomes, and reputation.

Throughout the year, G&C Foods gives back to our community through charitable food donations, sponsorships, end-of-year giving, and so much more. We connect people with employment opportunities and make a difference in the communities in which we live and work.

G&C Foods recognizes a shared responsibility to protect our planet. We continue to seek out renewable energy to reduce the environmental impact.
