Give One for Good Food®
With the belief that everyone deserves good food, and a passion for using the power of business for positive social change, Michele created the Give One for Good Food® program through which we donate 1% of our sales to organizations leading the way towards a healthier, more equitable food system.
Good food is produced nearby, in small batches, by people we know. Our donations support local food entrepreneurs and urban farmers who are providing fresh, nutritionally balanced food to our communities.
In 2006, Michele helped open a farmers' market and develop a program to match food stamp dollars in a low-income neighborhood to make fresh food from local farms more readily available. Michele’s Granola continues to support these programs to encourage healthy eating for all while advocating for local food agriculture.
Knowing where our food comes from and how it gets from the farm to our plates is one way to encourage a healthy diet, especially in young people. To uphold this belief, Michele's Granola supports organizations that offer cooking and nutrition programs to children and adults throughout our communities.
Give One Grant Fund
A significant portion of our 1% is allocated to the Give One Fund, with awards made annually to non-profit organizations across the country with innovative, community-led approaches to addressing the nutritional needs of their communities and healing the deep-rooted inequities in our food system.
