The Bay Food Brokerage team recently volunteered with Feeding Tampa Bay in support of the Cereal for Summer campaign during our monthly volunteer time at the community market, which Bay Food Brokerage sponsors.

For many children, summer means losing access to school meals. Cereal for Summer helps close that gap by providing local kids with cereal and milk so they can start each day with a nutritious breakfast. To donate to Cereal for Summer, visit: https://heyor.ca/gmYRLX

Thank you to Noah Underwood, Erin Mcculloch-Crume, Chris Chatterton, Diana Parrado, Laura Fennelly, Nico Guerrero and Jeff Smith for making the time to support such a worthy cause in our community!

VIDEO | When Cammie Hersman Chatterton retired from the role of CEO of Bay Food Brokerage last year, our team had a little fun with her exit interview after 33 years leading the company. Since then, Chris Chatterton has stepped into the role of CEO and maintained the same people-first mindset, relationship-driven approach and commitment to service that have shaped Bay Food Brokerage since its founding in 1993.

Given that Chris conducted Cammie's exit interview, we only thought it fair that she oversee his 90-day review as CEO. In this video, Chris shares reflections from his first 90 days as CEO, including what he has learned, what has inspired him and what he sees ahead for the Bay Food Brokerage team. His perspective offers a meaningful look at how the company is building on decades of trusted partnerships while continuing to evolve for manufacturers, retailers and the people who make up the Bay Food family.
