Our Allentown team had an wonderful time at the annual Iron Pigs baseball game for their employee outing! This year was particularly special as they were joined by the family of Training Specialist Jim McGinley, who recently passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. In a heartwarming tribute, Jim’s son Devin, who works as a SunOpta Aseptic Mixer III, threw out the first pitch in honor of his father. It was a meaningful way to celebrate Jim’s memory and the strength of our team. 💙⚾️ #SunOptaProud #StrongerTogether #CommunityFirst #IronPigs

While we work hard to serve our customers, we also believe in playing hard to build connections with our colleagues. As we reflect on the month of August, one fun highlight was the EPIC team's very own Office Olympics! From trash can basketball to paper airplane toss, the games brought out the competitive spirit in all of us. Congratulations to the winning teams! #OfficeOlympics #WorkHardPlayHard #TeamSpirit
