Greyston Bakery

❤️ Today, I want to honor a remarkable individual and friend, Dion Drew, who is an inspiration to me and to all who have had the privilege to work with him. Dion’s story has not only shaped my understanding of the challenges faced by those growing up in poverty, but also showed me how difficult it can be for good people to get a fair chance at a thriving life. Dion’s journey from facing the challenges of incarceration to becoming a supervisor at Greyston Bakery is extraordinary. His determination and commitment to building a better life are a testament to his character and resilience. What always stood out to me about Dion was his deep commitment to creating a loving family and making his mother proud. Dion spoke often about his desire to give his daughter the opportunities he didn’t have and the pride he felt in seeing his mother smile at his achievements. His legacy is one of hope, family, and the relentless pursuit of a better life. Now, as Dion bravely faces a terminal brain cancer diagnosis, we are reminded of the impact he has had on us all. In these difficult times, we have an opportunity to support Dion and his family, ensuring they are cared for as he has cared for so many. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support Dion’s family during this challenging period. Please consider making a donation in honor of Dion's legacy. Thank you, Dion, for your friendship and the lessons you have shared with us. Your spirit and legacy will continue to inspire us all. ❤️ 👊 ✌

A remarkable evening of discussion and sharing occurred on June 6 at Grace Farms Foundation for the book launch & conversation of The Profiteers - How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs by Christopher Marquis. The author moderated a panel of B Corporation leaders that included Aidaly Sosa Walker, VP of Marketing of Tony's Chocolonely North America, Joseph Kenner, CEO of Greyston Bakery, and Sharon Prince, CEO and Founder of Grace Farms. The discussion highlighted how important Certified B Corporation companies are in building a more humanity-focused business environment that has long-term benefits to all stakeholders . . . the workers, the community, the environment, and investors. #bcorp, B Lab, Greyston

How fun to get a text from a friend this morning that he saw a CBS News clip about us while he was watching TV in Danbury, CT! Then I received this link to the same piece that was aired today in Miami, FL!! I love that the news of Open Hiring is getting out. I wish we weren't so unique. If you want to learn more about Open Hiring, let me know!
