SubscribeCharity Month
Every time you pause a Genesee subscription, we donate the equivalent of one box (~$8 retail margin) to a food-security charity in your name. You get a tax certificate and 50 loyalty points. No extra cost.
How it works
When life gets busy, pause anytime from your account portal. No penalty, no friction — your Founders pricing stays locked.
Pick from our three vetted food-security partners: Feeding America, Wholesome Wave, or Athletes for Hope. We default to Feeding America if you skip.
Genesee donates the retail margin from your paused box (~$8) to your chosen charity. You receive a certificate email and 50 loyalty points.
Our partners
