Hendrix Genetics cares for our community

No matter the state of the world, a strong community works together to support the most vulnerable in their time of need. We are passionate about providing nutritious food, and our team in Canada is ready to rise to the occasion.

At every level of our organization, our employees believe in the importance of providing healthy food to their community. Each year the team at Hendrix Genetics in Canada runs a community giving campaign aimed at providing support to local partners (Nutrition for Learning and Food and Friends) who supply food to kids in need. When COVID hit and schools shut down, both partners quickly adapted their programs to continue providing universal access to food for families in the community. With an increased need for food, these local partners rely on support from corporate sponsors.

Thanks to the generous contributions of employees and financial matching by Hendrix Genetics, we are overjoyed to announce that together we raised $75,000!
