Aloha, Other B Corps to Help Chicago Schools

Specialty Food Association

To celebrate its recent B Corp certification, Aloha, maker of organic plant-based protein bars, powders, and drinks, is teaming up with Conscious Alliance, a national nonprofit committed to supporting communities in crisis through hunger relief and youth empowerment. Along with other like-minded companies such as Kodiak Cakes, Thrive Market, Bobo's, Purely Elizbeth, Lily's Sweets, and Partake Foods, Aloha will fill a truck with nutritious food and deliver it to children attending Chicago Public Schools.

"When it comes to helping others, it's all about the power of community. Food makers like Aloha are leading the way by using their voice to rally their peers in the food industry around feeding families in need," said Conscious Alliance executive director, Justin Levy, in a statement. "I'm stoked about the impact this collective effort is going to make on hungry kiddos in Chicago."

"Aloha is dedicated to building a business rooted in good – good people, good food, good partners, all good things," said Brad Charron, Aloha CEO, in a statement about the company's new certification. "This achievement was a natural step for the company as we double down on our dedication to create good, healthy, plant-based food and drinks while using our business as a force for good. As an employee-owned company built by and for the people, this is only the beginning—we plan to walk the talk."

Aloha is calling on other healthy food brands across the country to join in on the donation. rands can visit aloha.com for more information or send an email to care@aloha.com.
