The GROW Program:
When we founded Organics Unlimited, part of our mission was to positively impact the workers and communities who grow our produce.
The reality is agricultural regions in Mexico and Ecuador often face high poverty levels and limited access to basic services.
In 2005, we launched the GROW Program (“Giving Resources and Opportunities to Workers”) to improve the quality of life for not only our farmworkers but our entire growing communities through education, health initiatives, and economic support.
As growers ourselves and active members of the communities we serve, we aim to uplift our communities as a whole through the everyday work that we do.
GROW is simple and straightforward:
For every box of GROW produce sold, less than $0.02 per pound is donated to the fund which is managed by the International Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization specializing in community impact in Latin America, ensuring transparency.
That’s only $0.50 per box!
And while $0.02 per pound will make a tiny difference on our grocery tab, it makes a massive difference to our growing communities.
