California Giant announced its philanthropic distribution of $60,000 through The California Giant Foundation.

"The success of our Foundation is directly attributable to our staff's dedication to philanthropy," said Joe Barsi, president of California Giant. "Our mission extends beyond providing high-quality fruit; it's about actively nurturing the communities where our employees live. The passion and generosity our team shows for giving back is inspiring and embodies the core values upon which we were founded."
The 2025 non-profit beneficiary organizations include:
- CASA of Santa Cruz County
