BALDOR CARES
E
ach year, Baldor Specialty Foods donates food
to thousands of people in need and provides free
food education and ongoing support to its Bronx
community through its Baldor Cares program. The
company chooses partners who help the people in
its Hunts Point, New York, neighborhood, as well
as throughout the tri-state area. "So many of our
employees volunteer their time to make Baldor Cares
a success. Depending on the event, you'll see an
outpouring of support. It's really pervasive in our
culture," Thomas McQuillan, business analyst and head
of special projects at Baldor, says.
In 2014, Baldor donated half a million pounds of
overflow food from its warehouses to Food Bank for
NYC. Educating and feeding local kids is a priority: The
company hosted 30 children from the nearby Hyde
Charter School for a cooking demo given by chef
Michael White. Each child walked away with a box
containing all the ingredients to reproduce the same
healthy pasta dish at home for their families. Interactive
student demos are part of a growing educational
program at Baldor's Bronx Culinary Stadium. And the
distributor donates ingredients to Edible Schoolyard
NYC. In addition, Part of the Solution, a fully functioning
soup kitchen that serves family-style meals to those in
need, relies on Baldor's generosity every year.
Their fifth partnership is close to the company's
heart. When founder Kevin Murphy died of pancreatic
cancer in 2013, the company became a consistent
supporter of the Lustgarten Foundation, acting as a
major sponsor for their Annual Cure for Pancreatic
Cancer Walk in Manhattan. At the last walk, 200
employees participated.
