Morning Kiss Organic says its New York Produce Show booth will feature an interactive roulette wheel. Visitors to booth No. 511 can spin to win prizes such as gift cards, branded merchandise and donations directed to La Colaborativa, a nonprofit partner dedicated to empowering Latinx communities in Chelsea, Mass., and beyond.

Morning Kiss Organic and its sister company, DiSilva Fruit, have partnered with La Colaborativa since the launch of its food pantry in 2020, donating more than 1 million pounds of fresh produce to support its mission of addressing food insecurity and promoting community well-being, according to a news release. Morning Kiss Organic said the ongoing partnership reflects a shared commitment to uplifting vulnerable families by improving access to nutritious food.

“La Colaborativa has been a revolutionary force and a cornerstone of support for our community in Chelsea and across Massachusetts. Morning Kiss Organic is honored to back their important work,” said Nelly Czajkowski, organic category manager and quality assurance manager for DiSilva Fruit.

Morning Kiss Organic will also feature a vibrant selection of organic and conventional specialty citrus at the show, including sweet and easy-to-peel mandarins, vibrant blood oranges and flavorful cara cara navels, the release said.

“Specialty citrus is a highlight of the season, and we’re excited to bring these standout options to the show,” Czajkowski said. “We are committed to delivering exceptional produce that meets the needs of today’s consumers. And we all need a little bit of extra color on our plates during the cold winter months.”

In addition to specialty citrus, Morning Kiss Organic said sister companies DiSilva Fruit and Gold Bell will showcase a full line of organic and conventional produce.
