Boardman Foods, Inc.

I had a fantastic experience in Washington, D.C., connecting with leaders from the frozen food industry across America. The American Frozen Food Institute staff organized an incredibly well-executed three days filled with education and enjoyment in our Nation’s Capitol. Topics like the Farm Bill, food safety, tariffs, and MAHA were at the center of our discussions. It was an honor to represent Oregon’s frozen vegetables on such a prominent platform!

🧅 X 🏀 :13 years ago we launched a March Madness pool that gave back to those in need! We love tuning into March Madness and picking Cinderella stories to go all the way. We also are passionate about giving back to those in need. Food is our business and this is a great opportunity to help others have more of it! Over a decade later, we have raised over $30,000 for Food Banks across the Country! We want this year to be the largest turnout yet, join in and spread the word! It's simple to participate:    1. Please send a $25 donation to your local food bank, Men's and/or Women's. It's on the honor system. You can enter up to 25 brackets for each tournament.   2. Log on to ESPN. If you do not already have an ESPN account, you can create one for free with your name and email address.   MENS https://lnkd.in/gfPx6DJa   WOMENS https://lnkd.in/gzG_newP   3.
