At Valley Cooperative, we believe that success isn’t just measured by the products we deliver; it’s also about the positive impact we make in the communities we serve. As a proud bakery distributor in Wisconsin, our cooperative spirit drives us to give back in meaningful ways. From supporting local food banks to investing in the future of baking through the Wisconsin Bakers Foundation, hosting our annual golf outing fundraiser, and more, we’re committed to making a difference.
Why Community Matters to Us
Our roots run deep in Wisconsin’s bakery industry, and we understand that strong communities create strong businesses. Giving back isn’t just a corporate responsibility; it’s part of who we are. Every donation, every event, and every partnership reflects our dedication to helping the local communities we serve thrive and support the next generation of bakers.
Here are just a few ways Valley lives out this mission:
Donating to Local Food Banks
Food insecurity affects thousands of families across Wisconsin. That’s why we regularly donate to local food banks, ensuring that those in need have access to nutritious meals. By sharing bakery products and essential supplies, we help fight hunger and bring comfort to our neighbors. It’s more than a donation; it’s a way to share the warmth and joy that baked goods bring to every table.
Supporting the Wisconsin Bakers Foundation
The Wisconsin Bakers Foundation plays a vital role in advancing education and opportunities within the baking industry. We proudly contribute to this foundation because we believe in nurturing talent and preserving the craft of baking. Our donations help fund scholarships, training programs, and initiatives that keep Wisconsin’s baking tradition alive and thriving.
Annual Golf Outing Fundraiser
One of our favorite traditions is hosting our annual charity golf outing. This event brings together our vendor partners and cooperative members for a day of fun, networking, and philanthropy. The funds raised go directly to charitable causes, including local food programs and industry education. It’s a perfect example of how business and community can come together for a common good.
Other Ways We Give Back
Our commitment doesn’t stop there. Throughout the year, we participate in community events, sponsor local initiatives, and volunteer our time to support causes that matter. Whether it’s contributing to holiday food drives or partnering with schools for educational programs, we’re always looking for ways to make a positive impact.
The Power of Cooperative Spirit
As a cooperative, we understand that collaboration is key, not just in business, but in building stronger communities. Every effort we make is fueled by the belief that when we work together, we can create lasting changes. Our customers, members, partners, and employees all play a role in this mission, and we’re grateful for their support.
