At Snyder’s Sweet Corn, we are humbled to be able to feed our community.
We consider it a privilege to do so and desire to build into the lives of others.
We feel called to support organizations that meet our FEED & SERVE guidelines each season.
Being good stewards of all of our resources is something we truly hope to instill in future generations of our family and yours.
Since 2012, we have partnered with the Hamilton Food Share to distribute fresh corn throughout the region. At the end of each selling day, we bag up the remainder of the corn from that day to be picked up by the Food Share 2 times a week. To date, it has been our privilege to have shared over 21810 Snyder Dozen with those with limited access to fresh corn!!
We also distribute corn coupons to our 4 local food banks to be distributed at the beginning of each season to their clients. This gives opportunity for all of our valued customers to purchase corn from our stands when they would like to serve it to their families!
At Snyder’s Sweet Corn, we recognize and support the people that have done so much to serve and protect our communities. We are committed to donating corn to the following organizations’ fundraising events and we hope that you will attend one of them this summer!
Fisherville Fire Dept. – Annual Wing Ding & Corn Roast
Selkirk Fire Dept. – Annual Fish Fry & Corn Roast
Canfield Fire Dept. – Annual Pig & Corn Roast
Caledonia Legion – Chicken & Corn Dinner
Hagersville Legion – Summer Corn Roast
Stoney Creek Legion – Summer Corn Roast
Hagersville Lions – Summer’s End Festival
At Snyder’s Sweet Corn, we understand how valuable each and every member of our team is in providing an exceptional product and experience and we recognize their hard work and compensate fairly for this effort. We are also fully devoted to supporting those experiencing food insecurity in our greater communities and want to be a company who encourages that in the youth that work alongside us each season.
Over the years we have struggled with how to fairly distribute any extra monies received from our awesome customers. It can be very challenging to define who these extra monies get distributed to as there are many people working hard both behind the scenes and at the stand. Through the seasons we have discovered that when these amounts are distributed equally to those working each day they don’t amount to very much, but if we collectively allow them to accumulate, their sum can truly make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Our crew supports that any money given at the stand in excess of the sales will be considered a donation to a community organization that supports our farm mission to support those who FEED and SERVE. Our family farm is committed to matching this amount as well so together we can truly make a difference to those in need!
Exploring our local communities and enjoying great food while building into the lives of others is what we LOVE about doing life together!
We are always looking for organizations that align with our FEED and SERVE vision and we are excited to share these wonderful group of locals who are working together to make a difference in the world around us 🙂
Please check out the work these local organizations are doing to FEED and SERVE in their communities and beyond!
