At Reser’s, serving others comes naturally…after all, we are a food company! Supporting our communities has always been a fundamental core value and an important part of our long-standing recipe for success.
Each of our facilities has an established Reser’s Cares Team, made up of a cross section of employees who are empowered to review and support requests for donations. We focus our giving on strengthening communities near our facilities. Each year, our Reser’s Cares Teams provide support to more than 900 community organizations and schools by coordinating our community volunteerism efforts, providing monetary support, and authorizing food donations to support and strengthen our neighbors.
Our Reser’s Cares Teams are located in the following regions:
If you belong to an organization in one of these regions and are dedicated to supporting the community, please feel free to email your request for support directly to our Reser’s Cares Teams at:

Due to the number of requests we receive, we’re sorry if we are not able to respond directly to each one. We can promise that your submission will be carefully considered, and will contact those we are able to support.
Here are some examples of Reser’s Cares Teams in action—engaging our employees and strengthening neighbors and communities:
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.
