Produce for Life 7
Trucco partnered with Medrano to support Produce for Life 7, a fundraising initiative dedicated to advancing childhood cancer research and care.
Through this collaboration, we proudly contributed to organizations making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, and Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.
At Trucco, we believe that giving back is an important part of who we are. Supporting children facing cancer is one way we strive to make a positive impact beyond the produce industry.
Up to 80% of all litter in our oceans is made of plastic. Every day, items like plastic bottles, bags, cups, and straws are dumped after just a single use. At the rate at which we dump plastic, by 2050 we will have more plastics in the oceans than fish.
To address the problem of plastic pollution, KiwiStar has created a 100% plastic-free and recyclable paperboard packaging for our Kiwifruit. We are excited and committed to do our part to reduce plastic, one Kiwi at a time.
KiwiStar Cares wants to show our contribution to Jack D. Weiler Hospital in the Bronx, New York, supporting hospital staff, healthcare workers during the Covid crisis and the community with philanthropic donations and kiwifruit donations to their food pantry Project Bravo
