Community Outreach
The Benson Mills Group understands that community outreach is the practice of making a difference by conducting local public awareness activities to improve the understanding of a particular issue. Because of the growing numbers of food recalls and food-borne disease outbreaks, our efforts in educating the community has become increasingly important.
Two Forms of Outreach
We provide two forms of outreach: Community Outreach and Professional Outreach. Each is designed to meet people where they are — whether in their neighborhoods, schools, or professional settings.
Community Outreach
Community Groups
We work with community organizations to provide educational handouts for parents on how to handle food properly at home. Additionally, we provide colorful instructional posters for children on proper handwashing techniques.
Schools
We provide in-kind contributions to local early childcare and elementary school students by conducting on-site demonstrations and working individually with children on proper handwashing techniques and discussing the importance of proper handwashing. We also provide teachers with colorful handwashing posters for their students and provide the students with a small treat for their time.
Community Impact Day
Community Impact Day brings together a group of healthcare professionals out in the community educating and providing services to the public. Benson Mills Group is proud to participate in events like these, reinforcing our commitment to healthier, safer communities.
Professional Outreach
The Benson Mills Group engages in the expertise of some of the most renowned individuals in their respective fields in our efforts to provide clients with the most accurate and useful information regarding food safety.
