Today we are spotlighting our plant in Batavia, New York. The facility was named the 2024 Plant of the Year by Dairy Foods Magazine, is a proud contributor to the local community, and employs more than 450 people. For open job opportunities, please visit www.hood.com/careers.
On Thursday, Hood was invited to attend The Greater Boston Food Bank Awards Night to celebrate the Company's donation of $30,000 as a part of its partnership with The New England Patriots. Hood is honored to be one of the food bank's corporate partners and appear on the Wall of Fame. Attendees left the night feeling inspired by the shared commitment to ending hunger in our community.
One of our brands, Planet Oat, recently hosted a marketing campaign called “The Great Coffee Debate Sweepstakes” to determine consumers’ preference for hot versus iced coffee. Planet Oat partnered with comedians Rebel Wilson (“Team Iced”) and Adam Devine (“Team Hot”), challenging consumers to vote for their favorite coffee preference to enter for a chance to win a prize. The campaign included hilarious social media content, digital media support, and a pop-up experiential sampling event in New York City. Ultimately, “Team Hot” came out on top!
Thank you to Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for visiting our Winchester plant yesterday to announce Hood's plans to invest more than $83.5 Million in Frederick County.
