I’m honored to be participating in a panel discussion at Engage for Good Conference on April 24th in Palm Springs alongside Allison Shuffield, Managing Director of Corporate Partnerships at Share Our Strength.   We’ll be discussing No Kid Hungry's CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger—a critical initiative that’s rallying corporate leaders to help tackle the issue of hunger when school is out.   As CEO of Nature's Bakery, I’m proud that our company has supported No Kid Hungry for years, and we’re thrilled to take further steps to help ensure that every child has access to meals during the summer months.   Our panel will dive into: 💡 Why summer hunger is solvable—and urgent 💡 The role of corporate leadership in solving hunger 💡 How we can all join forces for lasting change.   Looking forward to sharing ideas with fellow leaders and discussing how purpose-driven leadership is the key to addressing some of the most pressing challenges today.   📅 Join us in Palm Springs, April 22–24

Last week, we sported branded swag, sampled soft-baked snacks and previewed new products 👀 during three action-packed days at #ExpoWest. Our team met countless parents who shared that our kid-approved snacks are a household staple, dozens of people who packed our bars before heading to the show, and avid Fig Bar fans who never leave home without one. To say we're energized is an understatement. Cheers to #ExpoWest2025!

Another #ExpoWest for the books! Our team had a blast seeing old friends, making new ones, spreading smiles, and sharing (lots of!) snacks at our Nature's Bakery Cafe.
