About Us / Social Responsibility

Living in Community

Request Foods is committed to the betterment of our community and the sustainable use of our natural resources.

Our commitment extends to the health and safety of all Request Foods employees, as well as our eco-responsible management and operations.

We believe in sharing our abundance if we’re able to help those in need. Like providing truckloads of frozen food to local foodbanks, or sending bottled water to areas of the country dealing with natural disasters.

We strive to be good stewards of our environment in our use of energy and water, packaging, waste and recycling, and the distribution of our customer’s products. Sustainability can be found throughout our organization and serves as a guide as we reduce waste, conserve energy, and source our goods as efficiently as possible.

Since January 2023, we donated over 197,000 lbs of food to local food banks, schools, churches, and veteran’s organizations.

In 2023, we recycled 48 tons of plastic, saving 2,160,111 lbs of CO2.

In 2023, we diverted 25% of our waste from local landfills through our recycling programs.
