This Is About Humanity is an organization dedicated to raising awareness about separated and reunified families and children at the border, providing essentials for living, access to legal services, mental wellness checkups, and more. In 2024, Berry Good Food worked with TIAH and the International Community Foundation to build an edible garden at a women and children’s shelter at the border.

We’re honored to announce our partnership with Kind Traveler’s Every Stay Gives Back community impact program. A portion of every guest stay with participating lodging partners in Oceanside will be donated to the Berry Good Food Foundation, empowering travelers to positively impact the communities they visit, and helping BGF fortify its mission to create a stronger and healthier local food system. This initiative aligns perfectly with the recent launch of Visit Oceanside’s Love O’side responsible travel platform, which aims to inspire and educate travelers to make thoughtful travel choices to plan an environmentally, socially, and culturally conscious trip to Oceanside, California. Together, we’re redefining travel for good and creating meaningful change.
SCOOP San Diego Ice Cream Festival has been bringing joy to ice cream lovers every summer for six years in North Park, and SCOOP founder and CIO (Chief Ice Cream Officer) Daniel Szpak takes the joy even further by selecting a beneficiary charity to receive the event’s net proceeds every year.

BGF was also excited to be present at the event coordinating numerous hands-on activities at “Berry Good Food Land.” A huge thanks goes out to all of the hardworking volunteers, and community supporters as well as event sponsors Good Start Packaging, A7D Creative Group, Chemistry PR, My Point Credit Union, and Auker Real Estate.
