IMMOKALEE, FL - Lipman Family Farms is out there making a difference in the world, with huge impacts made by its company-wide day of service, aptly named Day of Good. Participating in the fourth-annual initiative, Lipman’s North America locations united as ONE LIPMAN to devote their time and effort to serving their communities.

Elyse Lipman, Chief Executive Officer, Lipman Family Farms“Lipman dedicates this day annually to give back to the communities that have supported us over the last 75 years,” reflected Elyse Lipman, Chief Executive Officer. “Our role as farmers and providers of fresh foods is very humbling, and we acknowledge it as being a living part of every community we operate in, feeding families across the continent every day of the year.”

Lipman’s Day of Good initiatives shortly followed another key milestone, as the company more than tripled its goal of donating 75,000 meals in honor of its 75^th company anniversary last month.

• The Lipman team in Phoenix, AZ, hosted a turkey drive, donating 250 turkeys, while the team in Nogales, AZ, also donated 150 turkeys and 150 Lipman bags stocked with rice, beans, and stuffing through Crossroads Nogales Missions. An additional 50 turkeys were donated to the elderly of The Casitas of Santa Cruz
• In Dallas, TX, the team supplied the Sharing Life organization with all the items necessary for a Thanksgiving meal
