In honor of Teacher Appreciation Month, we are proud to highlight Box Tops for Education's partnership with Black Men Teach, an organization that is advancing equity in education by helping recruit, prepare, place and retain Black male teachers in Minnesota classrooms. Since the partnership began in 2021, Black Men Teach has been able to elevate their program on a larger scale and increase participation from 7 to 70, enabling more members to pursue their teaching degrees and contribute to K-5 classrooms across Minnesota. Box Tops has always believed that a child’s education is the foundation to achieving their fullest potential. Knowing that representation in the classroom helps improve student outcomes, we're proud of the work Black Men Teach is doing to support teachers and advance equity in the classroom.

Meet James Anunciacion, PLM Program Manager and co-lead of the Supply Chain Asian Leader Network (ALN) at General Mills. For James, Asian Heritage Month is an opportunity to educate and celebrate the unique contributions made by Asian cultures all around us. In his own home, he embraces his Filipino and Afghan heritage year-round by participating in his children's cultural spotlights at school, cooking traditional dishes during holidays, and exploring new cuisines with friends. "General Mills (and the world) are better when we can come as we are – and in many cases, people are genuinely interested. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are." James and his wife Sonia have been recognized externally for their work supporting Afghan refugees in their hometown of Minneapolis. At General Mills, James has been a dedicated member of the ALN for over a decade, forming many lasting connections and fostering an environment where employees uplift each other and champion meaningful causes together. He describes the community as an “oasis of dedicated leaders sharing stories and learning from one another in the most authentic setting.” #ChampionBelonging #AsianHeritageMonth #employee #employeeexperience

We kicked off National Pet Month in the most pawsitively amazing way! 🐾 Our Blue Buffalo team joined forces with Walmart and Best Friends Animal Society in Northeast Arkansas to host a public adoption event, where 14 shelter pets found their forever homes!

This week, our Asian Leader Network and allies came together for their annual conference to celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This year's theme, 'The Power of Our Story', tapped into the impact of storytelling to build connections, share personal and professional experiences, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds within our community. After hearing inspiring stories from esteemed speakers and attending personal development workshops, employees got to experience a night market where they enjoyed connecting over fun activities and cuisines from countries across Asia. Each moment together, celebrated the common thread we all share – our love for food. Special thanks to our local guests, Chef Ann Ahmed, Chef Marc Heu, Chef Yia Vang, and Sanah Jivani, for sharing their powerful stories, wisdom, and talents that left a memorable mark on our community! #generalmillslife #ALC2024 #AAPI #AsianHeritageMonth

Earlier this month, our Blue Buffalo team joined forces with Kroger Delivery and FOX Sports’ pit reporter, Jamie Little to support her ‘Shelter Surprise’ mission to help save rescue animals across the country, as she travels the NASCAR circuit. Together, the team made a special visit to Operation Kindness, a life-saving shelter in Carrolton, Texas where they delivered Blue Buffalo food, treats, and even covered the adoption fees for 100 deserving pets, providing them with a chance to find their forever homes. Thank you to Kroger, Jamie Little, and the entire team for helping make a difference for our furry friends! 🐾 #GStandsforGood #BlueBuffalo #Donations #Pets #PetAdoption
