Our Local Communities
We’re committed to being good neighbors
Shared happiness can spark connections that uplift us all. That’s why we actively work to spread joy in the places we call home. We engage to amplify the values that make a community thrive – togetherness, happiness, and the simple delight of being part of something special.
Our Approach
How We Get Involved
Immersing ourselves in our communities, we partner for meaningful impact where people gather to connect and celebrate, as well as work with organizations that share goals with our corporate Business Resource Groups (BRGs).
Civic Life
Local Chambers of Commerce, economic development groups, municipal organizations, and nonprofits dedicated to civic responsibility are key drivers of community progress. Our collaborations with these groups reflect our belief that public-private partnerships are vital to local opportunities and contribute to vibrant communities.
Celebrations
Local celebrations like parades, festivals, and cultural events are as meaningful to Ferrara as they are to our communities. We're proud to support gatherings that bring people together, ensuring our neighbors have the opportunity to commemorate life's important moments.
Philanthropy
Our philanthropic efforts focus on bringing joy today and preparing communities for tomorrow. Whether it’s providing candy to brighten the day of individuals undergoing medical treatment or engaging STEM students in our innovative research and development, we donate product, time, and funding to make a significant difference.
Volunteering
It’s not just dollars and products we invest into our communities – our team members donate their time and skills, too. Each July, nearly 500 team members nationwide step away from their usual work for our annual Day of Service. From packing food for distribution to pantries, to cleaning up river banks, it’s embedded into our culture to roll up our sleeves.
Our Culture
Grounded by our values and uplifted by our vision, Ferrara’s culture is all about working as one team.
