Affiliations
Royal Ridge Fruits, Stoneridge Orchards, and the Dorsing Family actively support many causes and organizations. Three that are especially close to us are:
BREAST CANCER COUNSELING, EDUCATION, RESEARCH & TREATMENT
We donate a portion of our sales during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to two organizations that are making a difference in people’s lives, both in our community and nationally. These two organizations are leaders counseling and educating cancer patients and their families, as well as conducting primary research and treatment.
FARM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
MEDA (www.meda.org)
During the holidays, and throughout the year, we provide both financial assistance and on-the-ground expertise to MEDA and their programs to help small farmers and emerging businesses in developing countries throughout the world.
For sixty years, MEDA has been serving the working poor around the world, bringing dignity and joy by helping them grow sustainable, locally-owned small businesses that are not dependent on charity for survival. MEDA currently works through 223 partners in 49 countries that have helped 42 million families.
Three generations of the Dorsing family have donated both financial support and the investment of their personal time and expertise traveling to developing countries in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe to advise and train farmers and small businesses to be self-sufficient and, ultimately, employers of many local citizens. By building strong, sustainable small businesses that provide good local jobs, workers can support their families, and their communities will thrive through self-sufficiency.
Royal Ridge Fruits and the Dorsing family are proud to support MEDA and their programs to build sustainable, locally-owned small businesses. Please go to MEDA’s outstanding website (www.meda.org) if you would like more information on the unique and outstanding work they do around the globe, including the successes they have had making a difference for families around the world.
