Each year, #TeamFerrara dedicates a Day of Service to serving our communities through volunteer work, building connections across our Ferrara community and beyond. Last week, we celebrated our 3rd annual Day of Service—and it was bigger and more impactful than ever! With over 600 Ferrara and Jelly Belly colleagues participating, we worked with 18 community partners to grow and stock the foods that feed our communities, provide clothing to children, work with students, clean our rivers, beautify our neighborhoods, and encourage young people in need. Thank you to all the wonderful organizations who partnered with us and helped our team make an impact far beyond our Day of Service – Brave Space Alliance, Carole Robertson Center for Learning, Children International, Cradels To Crayons, The Freestore Foodbank, Friends of the Chicago River, Gardeneers, Greater Chicago Food Depository, Green Star Movement, Habitat for Humanity, Leaven Kids, Lumity, Northern Illinois Food Bank, SHELTER, Inc., Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, Urban Autism Solutions, Vacaville Storehouse, Yolo Food Bank.

In partnership with Lemonhead and Urban Autism Solutions team members from our InAWE Business Resource Group joined the Chicago Disability Pride Parade on Saturday. We marched alongside hundreds of amazing individuals to promote our shared belief that disabilities are a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people who are living with disabilities can take pride. #DisabilityPrideMonth

July is the Affinity Month for Ferrara's InAWE Business Resource Group (BRG), whose mission is to advocate for the full inclusion of employees and consumers with diverse abilities, including physical, cognitive, developmental, or mental differences. As part of this month's programming, InAWE's Keynote Event featured our very own Cammy Kromer, VP of Sales, as she shared her experience as a child of deaf parents and how she found support and connection through Children of Deaf Adults (CODA). Thanks to Cammy and the InAWE team for an insightful and inspiring session!
