Serving as a flagship initiative, the grants are part of The Wonderful Company's commitment to the Central Valley. For more than 10 years, the company and its co-owners, Lynda and Stewart Resnick, along with their foundations, have invested more than $850 million in the region.
"As rising healthcare costs, food insecurity, and reductions in public funding continue to strain the nonprofit sector, local organizations are being asked to do more with fewer resources," said Andy Anzaldo, chief operating officer of corporate social responsibility at The Wonderful Company. "This program reflects a commitment to place-based giving by supporting the organizations that form the backbone of healthy, resilient communities, ensuring the Central Valley continues to be a place of opportunity for generations to come."
The program serves organizations based in Avenal, Delano, Del Rey, Firebaugh, Lost Hills, Mendota, Sanger, Shafter, and Wasco, California.

"Thanks to The Wonderful Company's generous support, we have been able to open doors for our youth to learn, grow, and thrive," said Rudy Matcham, club unit director of the Del Rey Boys & Girls Club of Fresno County. "This support has been instrumental in expanding programs like Triple Play: Daily Challenges and Healthy Habits, and in ensuring the successful launch of the Alebrijes program, where youth are encouraged to explore physical activity, nutrition, and cultural storytelling through hands-on learning, from the kitchen to the classroom."
