Disaster Relief
Crider Foods is committed to supporting communities in times of crisis. In the aftermath of natural disasters, we step in with donations of shelf-stable protein products to help meet urgent food needs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we extended our reach even further, delivering shelf-stable protein to vulnerable populations across the country—including vital support to the Navajo Nation. Whether responding to hurricanes, floods, or a global health emergency, Crider Foods stands ready to help nourish and sustain communities when it matters most.
Education
Crider Foods believes in investing in the future by supporting those who shape it—our teachers. Each year through the "Teacher Pay It Forward" program, we invite the community to nominate educators in surrounding counties who go above and beyond for their students. Selected winners receive $1,500 to help purchase much-needed classroom supplies. In 2025, Crider Foods is contributing $21,000 to outstanding teachers, helping to ease the burden of out-of-pocket expenses and ensure students have the tools they need to thrive.
The path to sustainability is long—and often challenging—but at Crider Foods, we’re committed to doing our part.
Through our Crider Cares Initiative, we manage over 5,000 acres near Stillmore, Georgia—land that supports both agriculture and thriving wildlife.
From planned reforestation to responsible wildlife management and conservation, every step we take is rooted in preserving the natural resources we all depend on.
We are committed to fostering the health and well-being of children, supporting initiatives that promote safe, healthy, and active lifestyles. Our team proudly contributes to organizations that make a meaningful impact, including:
-
Youth athletic programs
-
Child advocacy centers
-
Children's hospitals
-
Boys & Girls Clubs
-
School Lunch Programs
