Awesome time hosting the team and cohort from Robin Hood's Blue Ridge Labs yesterday at the Wellfare HQ! It was beautiful day to pack up over $30,000 worth of groceries for the community. Thank you for the partnership! #nonprofits #volunteering #csr Gaeleen Quinn

We're spotlighting a special giveback day a few months ago when we teamed up with our partners the Brooklyn Nets and Hospital for Special Surgery to support families in the Marcy Houses development in Bed-Stuy. As part of our Eat & Move Better partnership, together we distributed Better Boxes filled with delicious and nutritious groceries along with critical health and wellness resources from HSS. Nets player Cam Johnson joined the action, helping get the goods in the hands of over 350 families throughout the afternoon. An incredible and impactful day! Check out photos from the event:

MASH, a low-calorie beverage brand from Boylan Bottling Company, joins Wellfare as a Better for All Partner, committing to quarterly product donations of their refreshing sparkling fruit drinks to low-income families in need. The entire MASH lineup strikes the perfect balance between soda, seltzer and juice — and is an incredible alternative to high-calorie, high-sugar mainstays ubiquitous in food-insecure communities. We look forward to delivering MASH consistently to our member households across New York City this year and beyond. "We at the Boylan Bottling Company are thrilled to join forces with Wellfare to bring MASH, our refreshing, low-calorie sparkling fruit drink, to those facing food insecurity," said Chase Slepak, Chief Operating Officer at Boylan Bottling. "This collaboration isn't just a partnership; it's a testament to our dedication to being a stellar corporate citizen, actively contributing to the well-being and quality of life of those in our backyard." #partnerships #nonprofits #cpgindustry #csr #giveback

Last November, in collaboration with our partners at KIND, we launched our third neighborhood: the Lower East Side. We're so excited to bring our incredibly impactful Better Box to residents of the Riis and Wald Houses and to become an integral part of the community in time. The launch event coincided with World Kindness Day — and this year, KIND went all in with Wellfare to give back. The day before our launch, 30+ KIND team members came to our Brooklyn HQ to pack Better Boxes with KIND bars and a variety of other nutritious and delicious products. And on launch day, KIND joined our volunteer crew to sign up 315 families and distribute over $78,000 worth of groceries to those in need. “We’re proud to be building on our partnership with Wellfare to help nourish communities across New York City,” said Leah Fagen, Manager of Social Impact and Health & Wellness at KIND. “Celebrating World Kindness Day with Wellfare empowered our team members to spread kindness in a meaningful way and experience firsthand how Wellfare’s critical work is breaking the barrier to accessibility for high-quality, nutritious snacks.”  We look forward to delivering much needed support to families in Lower East Side — and to continue working alongside purpose-driven brands like KIND to make our vision a reality. #nonprofits #cpgindustry #csr #giveback #volunteering

We had a wonderful time hosting our partners Tacombi at the Wellfare HQ last week. The team was *super* efficient, packing 205 Better Boxes with over $50,000 worth of groceries in record time! We look forward to working together on more impactful projects at our HQ, in the community and at Tacombi restaurants. Dario Wolos Susana Camarena #nonprofits #giveback #cpgindustry #volunteering
