Spreading holiday cheer – giving back to the Lincoln, CA community
At Cambridge Commodities Inc., enhancing global well-being is more than just our mission—it’s the heart of everything we do. As a Certified Organic, Regenerative Organic Alliance and Certified B Corporation operating an SQF-certified facility, we are committed to delivering high-quality nutritional ingredients while giving back to the communities we serve.
This year, Cambridge Commodities U.S. celebrated a meaningful milestone by participating in our first local giving-back initiative at our Sacramento-area office in Lincoln, CA. Partnering with Toys for Tots, The HUB: WPUSD Family Resource Center, and Sacramento’s Gifts from the Heart Program, we worked to spread holiday joy to children and families in need.
A community-centered effort
The initiative was spearheaded by U.S. CEO David Evans, inspired by the charitable legacy of Cambridge’s Global CEO James Stevens. Flying into town from Washington State, Evans personally rented a U-Haul and handpicked an array of gifts designed to encourage outdoor activity and engagement. Bicycles, scooters, skateboards, helmets, volleyballs, soccer balls, and basketballs were among the many items selected. These gifts were stored at the Lincoln office before being delivered to local organizations for distribution.
Reflecting on this effort, Evans shared:
“I wanted to do something meaningful for our local community, and there are so many ways to get involved—it was challenging to choose just one. As a parent, I understand the importance of staying active as a foundation for lifelong health. Encouraging kids to step away from screens and find joy in outdoor activities felt like the right choice. Connecting with Toys for Tots, a Marine Corps-run volunteer organization, gave me confidence that our efforts would truly reach those in need. Knowing we’ve helped put smiles on kids’ faces this holiday season fills me with immense joy.”
Making an impact
The gifts were distributed through Toys for Tots, The HUB, and Sacramento’s Gifts from the Heart Program. Many bicycles will serve as vital transportation for children commuting to school, while others may be a child’s very first bike.
Matthew Vidosh, Territory Organizer for Toys for Tots, received the donations along with The HUB team, ensuring the gifts reached the children who needed them most.
A tradition of giving
This initiative reflects Cambridge Commodities’ ongoing commitment to fostering health and happiness in our communities. By encouraging active, outdoor lifestyles and supporting local programs, we hope to inspire both physical and emotional wellbeing.
