Recently, the Golden State Foods Foundation committee in City of Industry, California hosted its annual Casino Night fundraiser, uniting associates, vendors, suppliers, and friends for an evening of Vegas‑style gaming, food, music, and prize giveaways. ♥️♠️♦️♣️🎲 The event showcased the strength of community driven by a shared purpose, raising a record‑breaking $117,000—the highest total in the event’s nine‑year history! 👏
Proceeds from this event enables the committee to provide transformational grants to nonprofit partners, bring smiles to kids’ faces by gifting new shoes and backpacks filled with school supplies, and so much more.

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. ❤️
