At Griffith Foods, we believe in the power of community and collective efforts to create positive change. In FY23, the European and African Griffith Cares team organized the “One Day Griffith Cares Challenge,” engaging our entire workforce in supporting vital community initiatives.
This standout event in Europe was a 24-hour challenge where participants bicycled and walked, raising donations for each kilometer covered.
Our European team made a remarkable contribution by organizing a sponsored virtual tour. Exceeding the initial challenge of traveling virtually from Dublin to London, they continued on back to the start in Dublin covering an impressive 5200km and raised €39,000 (almost $42,000) for the Ronald McDonald House Foundation. This organization provides essential support and resources to families with hospitalized children, ensuring they can stay close during critical times. The route took cyclists and walkers through major cities including Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris, creating widespread awareness and impact.
This initiative not only supported communities, but also energized and unified our workforce. Employees could contribute without spending their own money, raising awareness about Griffith Cares and bringing our purpose into action.
At Griffith Foods, our commitment to community impact is unwavering. The success of our “One Day Challenge” showcases our dedication to making a difference, and we are excited to continue making a positive impact together.
