In our LOOK WHO’S PITCHING IN story series, the Chicago Parks Foundation will introduce you to the volunteers who are making the 2021 season of Pitch In for the Parks + Green Teams citywide park clean-ups possible. Today, we meet COFCO International Limited!

COFCO INTERNATIONAL LTD. joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on June 10th at Garfield Park.

Who is COFCO International?

COFCO International provides the food the world needs in a responsible way. We efficiently supply agriculture products around the world via integrated supply chains and are focused on being a leading global agribusiness.

How did your organization hear about CPF and the Green Team program?

In our search for an organization to partner with on a park clean-up, CPF was the most reputable and the Green Teams program was exactly what we were looking for.

Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?

One of our five strategic objectives is Building Strong Communities. We are committed to having a positive impact on the communities where we live and work.

How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?

We are committed to making a positive, sustainable, and long-lasting difference in the lives of all our stakeholders – our people, shareholders, farmers, customers, communities, and the countries in which we operate.

Thank you for pitching in, COFCO International!

YOU CAN PITCH IN, TOO!

Help us cover as much park ground as possible this season. The Chicago Parks Foundation’s citywide Pitch In for the Parks volunteer effort equips volunteer with the supplies and support you need to make an impact across our city’s 600+ parks!

Anyone can host a Pitch In clean-up group (free supplies delivered to you) or join a free volunteer event on our calendar. Or schedule a personalized volunteer event for your coworkers with our Green Teams corporate clean-up program. Both programs run June through October 2021.

You can also join us with a gift or become a Chicago Parks Foundation Member! Your support helps make vital park programming like Pitch In for the Parks possible. When you invest in the parks, you invest in the communities who love and depend on them!
