NEW YORK - When dedicated minds come together to support a cause, great things can be achieved. That is exactly what is happening as D’Arrigo New York has announced its partnership with Brighter Bites, through which it will donate fruits and vegetables to school kids and families in the Bronx.

Gabriela D’Arrigo, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, D'Arrigo New York"I am in such awe of what Brighter Bites has been able to accomplish,” said Gabriela D’Arrigo, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for D'Arrigo New York. “This has been the only organization I have seen that has had both the vision as well as the ability to execute and deliver.”

Throughout the 2022/2023 school year, D’Arrigo New York will donate pallets of fresh produce to PS 48X, a Brighter Bites-supported school, weekly. According to a release, the company will also provide 250 fresh produce bags to the school’s families as well.

This is one of four school programs in the Bronx neighborhood, the fourth borough that Brighter Bites NYC serves, with more schools in the area to come.
