Lipman’s national Days of Good Days of Good November charitable efforts

Lipman Family Farms is putting its values into action nationwide during the company’s sixth annual Days of Good charitable effort.

What began as a single day of service has grown into a month-long tradition of giving back to local communities. With a focus on supporting children, education and hunger relief, Lipman employees contribute their time and talent to a variety of initiatives across the country. 

Throughout November, employees volunteer in their hometowns by organizing food drives, assembling school supplies, renovating shelters and partnering with organizations that serve children and families in need.

“Days of Good is a reminder of what it means to be part of something larger than ourselves,” Elyse Lipman, CEO, said in a news release. “We’re proud to stand with neighbors and make a difference all year, but November is really special to us.”

Lipman’s work with Community Transitional School (CTS) is an example of how employees and local nonprofits work together during Days of Good. CTS, a longtime Lipman partner, is dedicated to the education and stability of children experiencing homelessness in the Portland, Oregon, metro area. The school provides students with pre-K through 8th-grade instruction, along with daily transportation, meals and clothing.

Lipman’s connection to CTS began in 2011, following its purchase of Portland-based Coastal Brokers. It has since grown into a longstanding partnership of reliability and respect.

Over the years, Lipman employees have supported the school through produce donations, school supply drives and first-day-of-school breakfasts. Days of Good projects often focus on collecting items for the school’s wish list, which help to meet the needs of students and staff.

Across all of Lipman’s operations, community champions lead Days of Good projects and organize efforts around the unique needs of each location. Last year, more than 1,000 volunteers gave 3,000 hours of service, reaching more than 9,000 families. This year, Days of Good projects will take place across North America.

Based in Immokalee, Florida, Lipman grows, ships and distributes  a variety of fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash and watermelon.
