Diversity Richmond to distribute 15 tons of food to families through two food drives

Diversity Richmond on Sherwood Avenue in Richmond is helping the community once again by distributing 15 tons of food to residents in need.

On Thursday morning, with the support of dozens of volunteers, the center helped 250 families by providing them with bags of ham, greens, cucumbers, protein-packed items and personal care products.

The community center partnered with Feed More, Kroger, Diaz Foods and other organizations in order to make the food giveaway possible. Sacred Heart Center on Perry Street in Richmond wanted to help in any way they could so they offered to have the event at their location. Read more

Finding ways to serve customers and those in need

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, my priorities were protecting our 400 employees as well as securing the supply chain. I started devising a strategy during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, when I was on Rosemary Beach in Florida with my wife and two daughters. At that time, I never thought the pandemic would escalate so much, especially in the United States. I put together a team of three people to assess our imports from Asia. Our coconut water and rice come from Thailand. We buy products from five vendors in China, but only one is a major item for us — garlic. We evaluated those shipping channels because when you order goods from overseas, two months can pass before you receive them. I knew if I could get the products out of the manufacturing plants to the docks and onto a ship, I’d be safe. In January, for example, we ordered six months’ worth of garlic. By mid-February, vessels were unable to dock in China, causing garlic prices to skyrocket.
