Every year, 1-in-8 women in the United States is affected by breast cancer. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, UNFI associates across the country joined forces to show support for those affected by the disease. Living our core value to Do The Right Thing, UNFI distribution centers organized wellness weeks, offered free screenings, and made donations to the American Cancer Society. Many also took part in community walks to support fighters, honor survivors' stories, and inspire hope while celebrating their journeys. Swipe to see pictures of our associates in action. #UNFI #breastcancer #awareness #breastcancersurvivors #community

With so many people and communities in the southeast impacted by the destruction of Hurricane Helene, our teams are taking action. Over the past week, we have mobilized to raise donations for World Central Kitchen, which offers hot meals to those impacted; given direct monetary donations to local partners helping the hardest-hit communities on-the-ground; and coordinated the delivery of critical supplies via our Distribution Centers and Sustainable Operations team. We are proud of our team's swift efforts to do the right thing and provide ongoing aid to the communities impacted by this disaster, as well as those who may be affected by Hurricane Milton.   To learn more about our relief efforts, and how you can help, visit: https://lnkd.in/dgnx8bni #UNFI #DisasterRelief #Volunteering

Throughout UNFI’s history, we’ve efficiently connected customers to better food from growers and manufacturers across the country. This week, we had conversations with Governors Katie Hobbs (AZ), Kathy Hochul (NY), and Tina Kotek (OR) and Secretary of Policy and Planning Akbar Hossain (PA) on the importance of public-private partnerships to drive light- and heavy-duty electric vehicle adoption across our industry.    To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the planet we all share, UNFI continues to invest in decarbonization and pilot cutting-edge carbon-reduction technologies. Our recent efforts include using all-electric yard trucks in California, deploying emission-reduction technology across our fleet, and adding electric trailers to our existing fleet.

21,000 hours volunteered toward creating a better future!      UNFI associates recently exceeded our annual goal by completing 21,133 volunteer hours in Fiscal Year 2024, surpassing our target of 20,000 hours. At UNFI, one way we create a better future is by empowering associates to give back to their communities.

Together, we're motivated to get better every day and surpass our goal again next year, helping build stronger, healthier communities.     Click here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eSWZe3Ay   #UNFI #Volunteering #BetterFood #BetterFuture

Every year, 40% of food in the U.S. goes to waste. This #HungerActionMonth, we've been honored to feature several of our 2024 UNFI Foundation grantees doing the critical work of food recovery. Thank you to Food Forward Inc., FoodRecovery.org, and Loaves & Fishes MN for sharing more about the impactful work you do. Beyond our grantees' efforts, our dedicated UNFI associates have volunteered throughout the month, providing essential support and helping deliver thousands of pounds of food to those facing hunger. We are grateful for our associates giving back to their communities and helping increase access to quality food. #Hungeraction #foodrecovery #foodaccessibility #UNFI #UNFIFoundation #Volunteering
