This team building event with Rescue Bear to benefit the Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation, Inc. was a great way to celebrate our company's purpose of feeding people and potential. Our team learned about our personalities and leadership qualities a bit more, and then built teddy bears for the ATL fire department to give to kids who are in trauma or crisis. It was a fun event for our team.
A big thank you to Kelsey Greenwood and GoTo Foods for having us! We were thrilled to have the opportunity to discuss our Foundation and share our vision with the community. Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to us as we continue our mission to make a positive impact. Excited for what’s next and looking forward to more collaborations!

Learn more about Jamba and how Chief Brand Officer Nathan Louer has reinvented the brand to reconnect with its consumers. Exciting things are ahead for this brand! #GoToFoods #Jamba
“'I think we’ve accomplished quite a bit, and a lot of it so far has been underneath the surface,' Jamba Chief Brand Officer, Nathan Louer, says. 'We’re just starting to see some things bubble up with the consumers this year. In fact, we’ve had several new product launches, some new activations as well. But a lot of things like rebuilding the product pipeline, ensuring that we have the right people and the right roles on the team—these foundational things that I think don’t ever get talked about because they’re sort of expected in this industry. A lot that was beneath the surface and really setting the stage for some monumental consumer actions in the next couple of years.'" Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ghzJb5hf

This strategically tailored twelve-week program provides the interns with real-world work experience, the opportunity to meet and learn from CEO Jim Holthouser and present to senior leadership about their internship experiences. It also incorporates much-needed fun to showcase the importance of community and relationship-building.
