At Gay Lea Foods, giving back is in our DNA. As a co-operative, it’s not just something we do—it’s who we are.
In 2014, we proudly established the Gay Lea Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to fostering vibrant communities and promoting sustainable agriculture. Through our Foundation, we invest in the well-being of the neighborhoods where our members and employees live, work, and thrive.
