Here at Fustini’s Oils & Vinegars, we’re passionate about healthy and flavorful foods. Which is why we’re so excited to strengthen community organizations that seek to equip others with food. Each of these organizations that we’ve partnered with have a dedication to serve in a way that preserves the dignity and choice of those they equip.
Our Petoskey Fustini’s location has partnered with Manna Food Project in Harbor Springs, Michigan as part of our Fustini’s Cares initiative. This means that 1% of every sale will be donated to the amazing work that Manna Food Project is doing.
About Manna Food Project
We’re so excited about this relationship, and thought you should get to know these community organizations that are having a positive impact right where we are. We connected with Manna Food Project’s Carrie Klingelsmith, and she shared some helpful insights about the work they do!
What influence does community have in supporting others?
I am so proud to be a part of this generous and giving community. It’s so nice to see neighbors helping neighbors on a regular basis.
Why is it important that dignity and choice are maintained in providing healthy and flavorful food?
Here at Manna, we want to make sure that people always feel comfortable and welcome. Treating people with dignity and respect is so important because you never know what they might be dealing with. We want people to choose the food they receive for several reasons. One reason is they choose the food they will actually eat so there is less waste. Another reason is to give them that independence to feel like they are grocery shopping.
What does this exciting partnership with Fustini's mean for Manna Food Project?
I have been so happy to partner and collaborate with so many area businesses and organizations that are truly here to make our community a better place to live. Fustini’s has been instrumental in helping Manna feed people in need and we are so grateful for our partnership. We are so excited to see what this year brings. Thank you, Fustini’s, for your continued support and helping make our community better.
