Blue Diamond Provides Red Cross Western Wildfire Relief California wildfires ripped through the state again this year. According to CAL FIRE, 2021, has brought 7,377 wildfires that have burned over 2.2 million acres in California. In response, Blue Diamond has, once again, partnered with the American Red Cross to raise funds to support the firefighting efforts. Blue Diamond matched grower and employee donations, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000, and together, we reached a total of $29,950 in contributions. Blue Diamond also donated product to two shelters — one in Yuba City, and one in Reno — to provide much-needed nourishments to evacuees. Finally, Blue Diamond accepted donations from growers and team members to help provide necessities and food to families displaced by the disasters. Some in our grower and workforce community have been directly impacted or know someone who has been directly impacted by these fires. Thank you to each of you who donated and supported the recovery of these affected California communities.
