In the Community

At 4C Foods, we work hard to get out our message of quality, wholesome goodness, while satisfying the needs of the consumer. We often introduce new products by handing out free samples at many sporting and community events. We also care about people and are involved in and contribute to health related and community causes, because at 4C Foods, we feel to be a good company — you also have to be a good neighbor.

Serve, Pass, and Set the 4C!

4C Foods has always been a proponent of exercise, physical fitness, and sports involvement. The folks who work at 4C are engaged in a wide variety of sports activities like running, skiing, swimming, and bike riding - to - group sports like tennis, softball, and soccer leagues. So, when 4C got the opportunity to help sponsor the East End Volleyball association, in Hampton Bays New York, we jumped at the chance. East End Volleyball has been organizing volleyball tournaments for over 33 years and offers volleyball programs and numerous playing opportunities for novice and intermediate level players, including programs for kids under 18 years of age. 4C Foods is happy to play a small part in the promotion of the sport of volleyball and hopes EVERYBODY has a great time playing on the beach and stays well hydrated with any one of 4C's drink mixes. Have fun and enjoy!

4C Foods Sponsors Baseball Game

Like the game of baseball, 4C Foods and Brooklyn have a long historical connection, so when the new professional (Class A Affiliate of the New York Mets) team the Cyclones was born and played their first home game in 2001, 4C Foods followed every exciting game and nail biting season. So we jumped at the chance to sponsor a July 2009 game. To set the tone 4C Foods handed out thousands of samples of 4C Foods Totally Light 2Go™ products. We must have been good luck to the Cyclones that day - they won 4-3 against the Tri-City Valley Cats. Great Game!

4C Foods Rewards Hard Work

The Abe Stark Elementary School, P.S. 346 in Brooklyn, NY is not far away from the 4C Foods production/processing facility and corporate headquarters. Over the past few years the school has been striving to improve school scores. To recognize those students who's grade scores “hit it out of the park” and made the school's HONOR ROLE, 4C Foods Corp. rewarded their efforts and took them to the ballpark. 4C Foods took 50 students on buses to Citifield in Queens, NY to see a home game of the NY Mets verses the Florida Marlins. A first major league game for almost all of them; 4C also supplied them with Mets hats, souvenirs, snacks, and of course…4C 2Go™ products. We hope this recognition sends a message to the school entire 791 student population that “success has it's rewards”.

4C Foods Brings a Taste of Home to the Troops in Iraq & Afghanistan

Since 2005 4C Foods has been sending Totally Light 2GO™ drink mixes to the US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Working with the food service brass of the Department of Defense, 4C has helped turn these GI's plain bottle water into an instant flavored nutritious beverage. And thanks to the innovative single serve stick pack technology, these men and women in uniform can pack them and take them anywhere. So on some blistering hot late afternoon in Baghdad, a GI can sit back and enjoy a cold lemonade and think of home. It's the least we can do to say “thank you”.

Green Ideas

There is more green to 4C Foods than the 4C Totally Light™ Green Tea drink mix. The fact is that the 4C Foods Corp. has been environmentally conscientious for years. Back in the 1990's, we took steps to dramatically reduce our cardboard usage in bulk packaging as well as implementing a cardboard recycling program with our retail partners. More recently 4C Foods Corp. made a major investment in high efficiency green power by installing a clean burning Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant on-site. The CHP not only provides electricity to the entire facility, (including AC and cold storage), the system also recovers waste heat off the engines and exhaust, which not only heats the buildings and the water, but also provides the heat for their massive food processing dryers. CHP green technology has allowed 4C Foods Corp. to be independent from the already strained Northeast Electrical Grid, recapture 85 percent of its waste heat, save on energy costs, and pass the savings on to our customers – all the while helping the environment. And to top it all off, our green power plant fits in a 40 foot sound attenuated container that is so sound proof that the noise from the engines is quieter than the passing traffic. That's because we care about our neighbors, our community, our customers, and our world. That's 4C!
