Pledge to make a difference, together.
Ruiz 4 Kids, the non-profit 501 (C) (3) organization of Ruiz Food Products, Inc., is made up entirely of Ruiz Foods Team Member volunteers. Founded in 1991 by Team Members with a passion for helping children, our mission is to provide opportunities, to inspire hope and change in children’s lives. With manufacturing facilities in Dinuba/Tulare, California, Denison, Texas and Florence, South Carolina, Ruiz 4 Kids offers two programs supporting educational initiatives for youth: scholarships and a Mini-Grants for Teachers Program. Since its inception, the Louis F. Ruiz Scholarship Program has awarded over $2,500,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors entering their first year of college. In 2017, Ruiz 4 Kids added a scholarship program specific to community college students transferring to an accredited 4 year college/university. Sponsors of the annual Louis F. Ruiz Golf Invitational provide funding for the scholarship program. The Mini-Grants for Teachers Program, started in 2013, provides funding to K-12 teachers outlining programs to enhance the learning experience for students.
