Los Angeles-based cooperatives Sunkist Growers Inc. and Fruit Growers Supply Co. will donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross in support of the 2025 California wildfire response, according to a new release.
In addition to a financial contribution, Sunkist says it donated fresh citrus to local food banks, including the LA Food Bank. The cooperative’s affiliate, Fruit Growers Supply, provided packaging materials to support relief distribution efforts.
“California is our home, and these efforts reflect our deep commitment to supporting the communities that have supported us for generations,” Jim Phillips, president and CEO of SunkistGrowers and Fruit Growers Supply, said in a news release. “At Sunkist and FGS, we stand with our communities in times of crisis and remain focused on providing wildfire relief — whether through financial aid, fresh citrus donations or essential supplies — so those affected receive the help they need.”
