The first of its kind, the Donate Fruit program represents a growing demand for quality gifts that give back.
"Sharing a gift that has also made an important difference in the life of another makes it even more special," said Laura Naumes, Vice President of Naumes. "Our signature fruit gift box lets gift recipients know that their premium fruit gift has been matched pound for pound with a donation to those in need."
Addressing hunger in America is especially critical in today's economic climate, in which one in eight Americans are affected. Fresh fruit is a vital component of food donated to hungry families who too often rely on processed foods that can lead to obesity and other health problems.
Naumes Inc. is one of the largest family owned and operated pear growers in the world and has been donating fresh fruit for generations. They have been the major pear grower working with Feeding America, donating almost 10 million pounds of pears over the past seven years.
The launch of naumesfruitgifts.com allows the family to offer its premium fruit directly to consumers for the first time and to expand their charitable contributions.
"We take pride in offering a quality and nutritious gift option," said Mike Naumes, President of Naumes, Inc. "We lost our first orchard in the Great Depression so we understand firsthand the importance of doing our part to help others in need."
Naumes handpicked gourmet pears are available in a variety of gift boxes and are available online for $29.95. Standard shipping is free.
The service is available to anyone in the U.S. at naumesfruitgifts.com. Business customers may also call TOLL FREE at 1-877-740-PEAR (7327).
About Naumes
More than 100 years ago, the Naumes family began growing fruit in Oregon. Over three generations, we have expanded our farming along the west coast into California and Washington where we grow, harvest and sell our fruit to major retailers nationwide. As stewards of the land, we are proud to be one of the largest grower of pears in the country. Our newest venture, an online store at naumesfruitgifts.com, grew from our family's desire to bring the highest quality fruit directly from our farm to your family's table. We grow every piece of fruit in our fruit gifts on our own farms and harvest every piece of premium fruit by hand, assuring our customers receive the very best that nature has to offer. Now, with every fruit gift purchased, our family will donate an equal amount of fresh fruit -- pound for pound -- to food banks that feed hungry families.
