IMMOKALEE, FL - This November, Lipman Family Farms proudly celebrated the fifth anniversary of its Day of Good, emphasizing a sustained commitment to community service across its locations in North America. Launched during a crucial time of need in 2020, this initiative has evolved into an annual event, featuring over 1,000 volunteers this year, that dedicated more than 3,000 hours to support over 9,000 families.

"This year's Day of Good not only marked a milestone anniversary but also reflected our deep-rooted commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve," said Jaime Weisinger, Director of Community Relations at Lipman Family Farms. "Our Community Champions, many of whom have been with us since the beginning, brought their passion and local insight that made each project meaningful and effective."

Over the past five years, Day of Good has grown into a defining element of Lipman's corporate ethos, successfully mobilizing each of its locations to engage deeply with local communities. The diverse activities orchestrated by Lipman range from assembling hygiene kits and hosting health fairs in Hermosillo to providing holiday meals and essential supplies to families in need throughout the United States.

Central to the initiative’s success were the Community Champions—Lipman employees who dedicated themselves as long-serving volunteers. These individuals not only planned and organized local activities but also spearheaded engagement and fostered lasting partnerships with local charities and nonprofits.

Key figures such as Alejandra Garavito in Rio Rico, Arizona, and Marcos Diaz in Immokalee, Florida, were pivotal, contributing annually to the planning and execution of impactful projects tailored to meet community needs.

"Day of Good means having the opportunity to put smiles and tears of happiness on people from our community. It reminds me how blessed we are to be part of Lipman," said Garavito. "Every year, I get excited to choose and achieve all the needs of our community. Santa Cruz County always looks forward to November to see what Lipman will do for them."
