In addition to the work we do with the HBIC organization, part of our corporate purpose is to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Ventura Foods and our employees.

To the end, many of our locations contribute and participate in local events and philanthropies throughout the United States. These community programs and local events are unique to each of our locations and while some are supported by that location, many are the personal contributions of our dedicated employees.

Help for Brain Injured Children, Inc. (HBIC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and recognizes that each child is a unique person with their own difficulties in coping with the demands of society and believes that all children should be afforded the opportunity to maximize their potential. HBIC has operated continuously since 1967 and is vitally concerned with the academic, physical and environmental condition of children and young adults with disabilities. Seeking to help remedy these conditions, HBIC assists in the educational and physical processes with the most appropriate programs available. HBIC realizes not every person will achieve "normalcy," but without exception, those who receive daily stimulation do show improvement. A person who functions better is a happier human being.
