The Sargento Family is always in our 'Giving Back Era.' On #WorldDownSyndromeDay in March, our Trade and Demand Planning Team gathered to support their teammate her daughter by hosting a fundraiser where most of the prizes were experiences. Since then, the experiences have come to life! Today, HR Business Partner Nicole Jens hosted a Taylor Swift themed team lunch with our EVP - Human Resources Doug Pelletiere as the guest of honor. Nicole earned an hour of Doug's time and since she's a #Swiftie, she planned a pink party with friendship bracelets, heart glasses and of course music. Sr. Director Pricing and Demand Amy Ehlen won the opportunity to match outfits and get lunch with Sr. Trade Planning Analyst Ryan Stubbs. Our Consumer Products Leadership Team won the chance to hear Demand Planning Manager Laura Rhode play musical selections on her clarinet - everything from Disney, to David Bowie - and at one point was joined by Sr. Marketing Manager Michael Bierbach on trumpet for 'If You're Happy and You Know It!' We're proud of the Sargento Family for using their time and talents to help shine a light and lend their support to meaningful causes in our community. #SargentoFamily #DSAW #creativity #humorandfun

We’re feeling good this Friday after Sr. Electrical Engineer Steve “Opie” Oplatek and his wife Kathy were able to be reunited in their home. Following a leg amputation procedure, Kathy was not able to get into their home with a wheelchair, causing her to have to stay at her father’s house that had a wheelchair ramp. Opie’s #SargentoFamily stepped in when they heard about this. 18 members of the engineering team at Sargento built a ramp at Opie’s home after a month of planning and 2 days of building. Once the team completed the build, Kathy was able to wheel into her home for the first time in four months. “I can’t thank the team enough. I can honestly say when Sargento says ‘Hire good people and treat them like family,’ they mean it. I am so glad I came to Sargento. This really is a great company. It is the best company I’ve ever worked for. I always feel that someone’s got your back here,” shares Opie. We are proud of the engineering team for showing Mutual Support for their team members and showing what it means to be a part of the Sargento Family. #SargentoFamily #mutualsupport #wheelchairramp #engineeringteam
