Vega was founded as a Canadian company from Burnaby, BC and we have been following their progress for many years, as they make some good products. As we have seen from their recent donation of over 70,000 products to hospitals and food banks, they genuinely care about their communities. Once again, we see Vega taking this time to learn how they can do better.
“While we pride ourselves on being an inclusive company with deep, long-standing shared values on diversity and inclusion, we know there is a lot more we can do. The senseless killing of George Floyd, and so many others, is a painful reminder of how prevalent racism is across North America, and it’s unacceptable.” Team Vega
The Vega team is showing their solidarity with the Black community, and are encouraging employees to take the time and space they need to read, reflect, learn, talk with friends, family, and each other about the tangible steps that can be taken to make a difference and action real change. As we all know, words only go so far, it is actions that are necessary to make a difference. In this spirit, Vega is making monetary donations to organizations that support the Black community. Here are the donations Vega will be making:
- $10,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
- $10,000, to Conscious Alliance, a movement of artists, musicians, food makers, and music lovers on a mission to end hunger in underserved communities nationwide. ⠀
- $10,000 to the Black Health Alliance, a community-led organization committed to improving the health and well-being of black communities in Canada.
