GIVING TUESDAY 2025
Supporting the People Behind Our Food
Every meal we share tells a story—one that often begins in fields, kitchens, and communities shaped by the hands of immigrants and refugees. They don’t just work in our food system; they ARE our food system. They’ve enriched our tables and our culture. Now it’s our turn to invest in their success. Between November 25th and December 5th, World Centric is honored to match donations—up to $15,000 each—for three incredible nonprofit partners this Giving Tuesday: MIGRANT JUSTICE, OAKLAND BLOOM, and AMERICANS FOR IMMIGRANT JUSTICE working to ensure dignity and opportunity for the people who form the foundation of our food system. Together we can drive positive change for a better world.
MIGRANT JUSTICE
- Works directly with migrant farmworkers to build power and improve conditions in Vermont's dairy industry and beyond.
- Their Milk with Dignity program ensures fair wages and humane treatment for the people who help bring food from farm to table.
OAKLAND BLOOM
- Empowers migrant and refugee food entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses, transforming their culinary heritage into economic opportunity.
- Through training, mentorship, and community support, they're helping create a more inclusive food landscape.
AI JUSTICE
- Provides free critical legal representation and advocacy for immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees in Florida and beyond, ensuring access to justice.
- Their work strengthens families and communities, including many working in food service and hospitality.
The Connection Between Food and Community
Our food system depends on the contributions of immigrant and refugee communities. From the farmworkers who harvest fresh produce to the culinary entrepreneurs bringing flavors from around the world to our tables, these individuals enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet many face significant injustice: exploitative conditions for low wages, lack of legal protections and workplace safety, and exclusion from the economic prosperity they help create.
Why This Matters to Us
At World Centric, we believe that taking care of people and planet are inseparable goals. Our compostable foodservice products are designed to reduce waste and environmental impact, but we also recognize that true sustainability includes supporting the people who grow, prepare, and serve our food. When we invest in their wellbeing, we strengthen entire communities and build a more resilient, equitable food system for everyone. Supporting them isn't charity, it's a smart investment in thriving communities.

This Giving Tuesday, every dollar you donate to these three organizations will be matched by World Centric, up to $15,000 per organization. That means your donations can help unlock up to $90,000 in total support for immigrant and refugee communities.
