Our Commitment to the Community Through Reser’s Cares
At Reser’s, one of our fundamental core values is giving back to the communities in which we live and work.
Each of our facilities has an established Reser’s Cares Team to inspire and support our employees to give time and resources to their local communities. Each team is made up of a cross section of employees empowered to organize volunteer events and make monetary & product donations. Every year our Reser’s Cares Teams provide support to hundreds of community organizations and schools.
If you represent an organization in one of the below regions, you may request support directly from your local Reser’s Cares Team:

Contribution Guidelines
With so many great organizations and dedicated community members working hard to make our world a better place, we have developed these guidelines:
- All requests must be submitted through the appropriate online form or email address above. Please include information about the amount of money or product you are requesting and how it will be used to benefit the local community.
- We support 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and public entities such as schools. Please include your 501(c)(3) number if applicable.
- In 2025 we will primarily be giving cash donations of $750 in celebration of Reser’s 75th Anniversary, but you may also request a higher amount for consideration.
- As our products need refrigeration, we are only able to authorize product donations to organizations who ensure food safety guidelines are followed.
Due to the number of requests we receive, we may not be able to respond to each one directly. We can promise that each submission will be carefully considered.
For general questions about Reser’s philanthropic initiatives, please contact our Corporate Director, Mari Jo Prlain, at marijo@resers.com or 503.526.5716.

Our Commitment to the Community Through Sustainability
Supporting our Reser’s Cares teams is just one of the ways we run our company to reflect the deeply-rooted values that we have as a family-owned and operated business. We also feel a responsibility to conduct business in a socially responsible manner and reduce our environmental impact within our operations and supply chain.
That philosophy is good for us, our employees, our customers, our communities, and our planet. We continually look for ways to reduce our footprint through recycling, efficiency improvements, and waste reduction. In addition, we're focused on expanding our clean label product list and sourcing ingredients though growers, processors, and councils who uphold sustainability standards and certifications.
