⭐ Foodbuy is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by highlighting words from some of our associates! ⭐ This week we're featuring Monica Gomez, Compliance Specialist, who shares: "As Ecuadorian, I’m very proud of my Hispanic heritage and the culture that comes with it with the diversity of our food, traditions even the different skin tones." When asked what she wants her coworkers to know about Hispanic or Latinx culture, she added: "A lot of times Hispanics are related to coming from Mexico. I wish people would know that there are more Spanish speaker countries below North America and not only Mexico. There are 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean including Mexico in which there are 19 Spanish speaker countries such as my beautiful Ecuador." #HispanicHeritageMonth2024 #HispanicHeritageMonth #diversitymatters

Foodbuy is highlighting our associates this Hispanic Heritage Month! 💡 Category Development Manager for Responsible Procurement, Nicole Perez, shares some words about celebrating her Venezuelan culture through food: "Growing up in the states with two immigrant Venezuelan parents far away from any blood relatives, our Latin culture was almost exclusively cultivated at home through language and food. My mother cooked traditional recipes with us, such as arepas, cachapas, and chupe. Over Thanksgiving we'd spend two days straight making traditional banana leaf dish called hallacas, and all our Venezuelan family friends would come together to cook and share their methods and tricks passed down from their families. Today, I share my Venezuelan culture with my friends by cooking them traditional dinners and creating an environment where we can share our cultural differences to enhance and learn about each other over the dinner table, or in the kitchen." #HispanicHeritageMonth2024 #hispanicheritagemonth

When HealthTrust heard from its members there was an interest in sustainable, healthy, high-quality food options for their patients, it sought a supplier that could meet those requirements. “It’s important to offer our members options that align with their values,” explains Sam Potter, Senior Director of Contracts. “Buying local and offering sustainable options is a big part of that. There’s also been a lot of discussion in healthcare over the last few years about limiting the use of antibiotics and keeping animals healthier.” https://lnkd.in/gQUQ8wdQ
