‍
In this debut season, Rylee explores the popular beach city of Puerto Vallarta. This Mexican city is known for its beautiful beaches and LGBTQ-friendly nightlife.

Rylee finds other great vegan restaurants that have been open for years, as well as new vegan restaurants that have just started to make their mark in the city.

‍
Showrunner Mel Andre and Host Rylee Josipovich take viewers around the city, exploring many delicious restaurants that cater to vegans, whether they are expats, tourists, or locals. She also sits down with chefs and restaurant owners to hear their stories.

‍

The first annual Songs of Deep Emotion and Bright Light concert to benefit the Nic Pagano LGBTQIA+ Scholarship Fund for Recovery has been confirmed for January 26th at City Winery in New York City. Tickets are on sale now: https://citywinery.com/newyork/Online/Article/NYC-Songs-of-Deep-Emotion-1-26-23-8pm.

‍

The Nic Pagano LGBTQIA+ Scholarship Fund was created to enable ongoing assistance for families and individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community in need of financial help after agreeing to treatment for a substance use disorder.

‍
The concert will feature a diverse array of acclaimed musicians, including Rosanne Cash, Marshall Crenshaw, Bettye LaVette, Amy Helm, Willie Nile, Kate Pierson, Rachael Yamagata, and music director Rich Pagano. Steve Earle and Martha Redbone were just added to the lineup as well.

‍

Additional national and local music acts will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Each artist will perform a short set that illustrates an emotional and compromising element, and a level of promise and faith. The flow will range from "melancholy blue" to "electric heat."

‍
In addition to raising proceeds from ticket sales, the event will feature an auction segment of coveted music-related photographs, including donations by Mark Seliger, William Coupon, Bob Gruen, The Gordon Parks Foundation, and more. The auction will take place thanks to the outreach of Karen Marks, director of Howard Greenberg Gallery, one of the premiere photographic galleries in the world. Phillips Auction House has generously offered to facilitate.

‍
One month before his accidental death due to fentanyl poisoning on July 2nd 2021, Nic and his parents, Karen Marks and Rich Pagano, were eating lunch near the sober house that he was residing in at the time when the conversation turned to the plight of the LGBTQIA+ community, its fear of ostracization, and the assumption of lack of communal inclusion within the treatment world. Nic, leaning to an eventual career in social work, singled out the transgender community in particular for its marginalization. Unfortunately, last month's hateful incident in Colorado is a clear indication that the stigma, fear and threats against the gay community need to be confronted, disarmed, and dispelled.

‍
The Release Recovery Foundation and Caron Treatment Centers have partnered in the creation of the Nic Pagano Scholarship Fund, which is based at Caron Treatment Center in Pennsylvania. This scholarship aims to improve access to care for the LGBTQIA+ community.

‍
Since its inception in the fall of 2021, the Nic Pagano LGBTQIA Scholarship Fund has awarded six financial scholarships to clients in need of substance use treatment. Services also address stigma, heterosexism, internalized homophobia, discrimination, and addiction.

‍
"We started The Release Recovery Foundation to help individuals who just didn’t have the same access to treatment that I had growing up," said Zac Clark, a Caron Board Member who co-founded the foundation. "We identified the LGBTQIA community as one where we could make a difference."

Maergo (previously known as X Delivery), the trusted national carrier serving retailers and DTC brands with faster, greener shipping, today announced it has closed a $20M seed round. Lead investors included Deep Lake Capital, funds managed by investor and entrepreneur Neel Shah, and ACR Strategic Credit, with participation from RyderVentures, the venture capital arm of Ryder System, Inc. With this closing, the company also completed its rebrand to Maergo.

Maergo's fundraise follows a year of product development, team growth, and sales progress with the addition of customers including Saks Fifth Avenue, Allbirds, Chubbies, and Buck Mason. These retailers join a growing list of clients focused on improving the delivery experience for their customers. Technology updates include improvements to their predictive, real-time decision and routing platform that continuously optimizes first, middle, and last mile operations.

"Since I joined the firm, we've focused on solving one of the biggest challenges facing brands today—getting orders to customers faster at a lower price and in an eco-friendly way," said Mark Lavelle, CEO of Maergo. "We're excited about empowering our clients to meet these objectives while helping them maintain control over customer data and the post-purchase experience."

Maergo has delivered more than 8 million shipments. Prior to Maergo, Lavelle was CEO of Magento, which he led to a $1.7B sale to Adobe in 2018, and was cofounder of Bill Me Later, the first BNPL company acquired by PayPal.

"The investment we've made in Maergo through RyderVentures is consistent with our strategy to bring to market new technology-driven solutions that tackle disruptions in the supply chain. The high-growth ecommerce business is a major focus area for us," says Karen Jones, CMO and head of new product development at Ryder. "With the growth of ecommerce and resulting capacity constraints, shippers are looking for more flexible parcel solutions. Through Maergo's tech-first approach to parcel delivery, they're leveraging existing capacity to offer an end-to-end solution. That's both compelling and exciting for us and our customer base of high-growth brands."

North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Becomes First HBCU to Launch an MBA Program with a Real Estate Concentration‍
‍

F&M Bank is proud to announce NCCU’s Unity Scholarship, which will encourage a student’s dreams of entering the field of real estate. F&M Bank, along with Andre Johnson and James “Monte” Montague, collaborated to offer a $7,500 scholarship (per year for two years) to an NCCU student enrolled in the MBA Real Estate Concentration.
‍

Additionally, the three partners have contributed $7,500 (per year for two years) to a Gap Scholarship. This will be awarded to several MBA Real Estate Concentration students over the two years who need financial help to fill in the tuition gap that would have otherwise prevented them from completing their education.

This NCCU program is the first of its kind being offered as an MBA at a historically black university or college. The university states that the specialization program builds on the MBA core curriculum with a focus on real estate fundamentals, providing future leaders career growth opportunities and a platform for innovation and discovery.

“Through the offering of a relevant and challenging real estate curriculum within our MBA program at NCCU, we are able to not only provide education to support the needs of the real estate industry, but we are able to fill a much-needed diversity gap within the field itself,” said Anthony Nelson, Ph.D., Dean, NCCU School of Business.

F&M Bank Chairman and CEO Steve Fisher is proud to help fill this diversity gap, saying, “Our Unity scholarships crack open a door into the business world that minority students have historically thought was closed. Thanks to our trusted partnerships in the minority business community, we are holding the door open from both sides and welcoming students to enter.”

Montague, a key donor contributing to the scholarship, agrees, “On a personal level, many of the students that will be able to attend this prestigious University [NCCU] come from a similar background as I do and because of the NCCU Unity And Gap Scholarships will be able to continue their education and change the world. Being in a position to partner with these great organizations (F&M Bank and Andre Johnson Architects) to support the future leaders of NCCU is truly an honor for us at F7 International Development."

"The opportunity to give back and to help others is an important part of my firm's philosophy and my personal beliefs,” said Johnson, a third key donor contributing to the scholarship. “I am humbled to be able to assist the next generation of business leaders through this partnership with NCCU."

“Partnerships like the Unity scholarships are a model for how we change the face of business in the years to come and expand opportunity to all,” said Fisher. “F&M Bank is so proud to be a part of this team approach to improving the communities we serve.”

“On behalf of the North Carolina Central University School of Business, thanks sincerely for your visionary and tangible support to expand the reach and impact of the School of Business and our students in various North Carolina communities,” said Nelson. “The funds donated will open new opportunities for NCCU students who may not otherwise undertake a career such as real estate without the financial assistance provided through a Unity ‘Gap’ Funding Scholarship. We are extremely excited to market and administer this program with available financial incentives for our students.”

The university will award the Unity Scholarship to a student who plans to reside and practice in the state of North Carolina, ultimately strengthening the communities we serve. F&M Bank would like to thank the students of NCCU for sharing their visions for the future with us and for allowing us to help them reach their dreams.

Gwell Wellness, Inc., a plant-based wellness brand that incorporates functional foods into everyday snacks for people with special dietary needs and food sensitivities, today announced that it is launching Wellworthy, a service aimed at sharing newsworthy stories to increase exposure and knowledge of food, health, and wellness topics within underserved communities, along with resources to learn more.

A Black woman-owned company, Gwell (which is Welsh for "better") was founded by CEO Fawziyya Sugai, who was recently accepted into Target's accelerator program Takeoff.

Wellworthy is available now at eatgwell.com, and includes free weekly summaries of newsworthy articles in food, health, and wellness, as well as exclusive Gwell promotions to subscribers.

"We've been dreaming this up for a while," said Sugai. "Too often we hear people say, 'why haven't I heard about that?' or 'why wasn't that in the news?' Sadly, many of the things that impact our well-being aren't always deemed newsworthy. We're here to change that."

Gwell's products include only natural and organic ingredients (no dairy, no soy, no gluten, no artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives, or fillers ever).

"Gwell started with my own challenges related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and fibroids," Sugai added. "Many in our community also struggle with chronic illnesses. This first issue is centered around environmental factors that can improve or exacerbate chronic illnesses and wellness."

Chamberlain Coffee, the leading coffee lifestyle brand and brainchild of Emma Chamberlain, announced today the launch of their first-ever Coffee Pods. The launch marks a new wave of convenience for the brand and showcases their continued commitment to innovation and ability to meet customer needs. Differentiating themselves from others on the market, the brand's Coffee Pods' casing is commercially compostable.

Made from Chamberlain Coffee's Original Family Blend, the Coffee Pods will feature their best-selling medium roast coffee—allowing the brand to bring its premium and great tasting product to consumers in an even more convenient format. Each Coffee Pod is created out of patented plant-based materials and is compatible with all Keurig style brewers. Over 15 billion plastic pods are produced each year, with 90 percent of those single-serve pods ending up in landfills or burned, meaning Chamberlain Coffee's Coffee Pod production is supporting a cleaner, more sustainable system.

"We are so excited to continue to bring customer-driven products to life while championing a good cause at the same time," said Chamberlain Coffee CEO Christopher Gallant. "Customers have been requesting Coffee Pods for a while now, but we wanted to find a sustainable solution before launching. We are confident that our fans are going to love this new product that we've been perfecting for months."

Since the brand's launch in 2020, Chamberlain Coffee has become a force within the coffee industry. Following a $7M fundraise in August, the brand has been able to develop new products, reach new audiences and see some of their greatest sales yet.

Chamberlain Coffee has also proven to fans that their success can go well beyond coffee products. From their wildly successful flavored matcha launch earlier this year, to their most recent tea launch, Chai, which quickly became their second-best performing product to date. The brand also offers a variety of lifestyle products (from branded merchandise to custom coffee accessories) to help tap new audiences and appeal to the masses.

Consumers can find Chamberlain Coffee's Coffee Pods sold in packs of 10 at ChamberlainCoffee.com for $16. For more information on Chamberlain Coffee, and to stay up to date on the latest product launches, follow on Instagram at @chamberlaincoffee.

Angel City and Klarna Commit 10% of Sponsorship to Powering Sustainable Shopping Initiative with Downtown Women's Center Boutique‍

Angel City Football Club (ACFC) and Klarna today announced that the Downtown Women's Center's (DWC) social enterprise, MADE by DWC, will be the beneficiary of grant money allocated through the Angel City Sponsorship Model where 10 percent of each sponsorship is reallocated back into the community.

In October 2021, Klarna, the leading global bank, payments, and shopping service, announced it had joined ACFC as a Founding Partner, bringing the all-in-one shopping platform to new audiences, offering fans an innovative way to shop and pay. As part of the partnership, the organizations are supporting the MADE by DWC program at the Resale Boutique, focusing on promoting a circular economy of sustainable fashion while empowering women in Los Angeles to break the cycle of homelessness through employment.

"Through our partnership with Klarna, Angel City FC is excited to focus our impact on such a meaningful organization like the Downtown Women's Center," said Angel City FC President and Co-Founder, Julie Uhrman. "We know firsthand the benefits of empowering women in the workforce and we are excited to support the development of DWC members through their MADE by DWC program."

In collaboration with Klarna, Angel City FC will call its network into action to donate clothing to the Downtown Women's Center MADE by DWC Resale Boutique. The Klarna donation bin will be available at the Downtown Women's Center through the end of December. This collaboration will allow both organizations to highlight key elements of the Boutique. First, the significance of donated items and the impact recycling clothing has on the environment. Second, the significance of the Boutique within the community, which continues to provide on-the-job training for women. 60% percent of the current MADE by DWC staff have graduated from this job-training program.

"The Downtown Women's Center (DWC) is honored to be supported by ACFC and Klarna. What a perfect community building partnership. MADE by DWC is a social enterprise that is focused on ending homelessness for women through employment. This year alone, 56 women will be enrolled into our job-training program. Previous graduates of the program have been hired at MADE by DWC, and hired into roles in the community that include health and advocacy, retail, food service, administrative roles, and entrepreneurship. We are excited to continue expanding our support for women experiencing homelessness through this collaboration." —Joe Altepeter, DWC, Chief Social Enterprise Officer.

"Through our partnership with Angel City, Klarna is committed to making a positive impact on planet health and the larger Los Angeles community, and we are excited to support the DWC's mission through the launch of this grant and clothing donation initiative. Klarna's  aim is to provide consumers with reuse options, to resell, donate, or recycle pre-loved items and empower them to minimize waste and extend the life of products through circular services.," said Megan Gokey, Head of B2C Marketing, North America, Klarna. "This grant money will go towards empowering the community to live a sustainable lifestyle while creating additional opportunities to assist more women in gaining valuable experience they can bring with them into their next chapter."

ACFC and Klarna launched the program in collaboration with DWC on October 9th at the DWC Gala to introduce the partnership, along with the attendance of ACFC players Cari Roccaro, Simone Charley, and Paige Nielsen. On Sunday, December 11th from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM, Angel City FC and Klarna will host an in-person clothing donation event at the Angel City Brewery (216 S Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012), where fans can drop off new and gently used clothing for the DWC before enjoying fun activities and games hosted by ACFC.

Kellogg Company announced today – International Volunteer Day – that employees around the world volunteered more than 2,400 hours as part of the company's Volunteer Pledge to honor World Food Day.

For nearly a decade, Kellogg has been honoring World Food Day by giving back to communities around the world. This year, the company asked employees to volunteer at least two hours, either virtually or in person. Employees from every region participated.

"Giving back to others is a long-held belief at Kellogg Company. As part of our Better Days Promise environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, Kellogg takes action to create better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030 and, importantly, encourages others to do the same," said Stephanie Slingerland, Senior Director, Global Philanthropy and Social Impact. "We are proud that our employees are passionate about donating their time and efforts to help the people in the communities where we live and work thrive."

Since 2015, Kellogg employees have volunteered more than 106,000 hours to support people around the world. This year, after a nearly two-years dotted with virtual volunteer power hours, fundraisers, and individual activities, our employees were thrilled to be able to meet in person again and donate their time and effort as part of our World Food Day volunteer initiative.

In the U.S., employees volunteered in our hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan, but also across the country, sorting food at local food banks, packing backpacks with school supplies for children, cleaning up local parks, and much more.

As an added incentive, Kellogg pledged that for every hour that employees logged by the end of Nov. 30, the company would donate $10 to long-time partner, United Way to help create better days for neighbors who may be struggling with basic needs like putting food on the table for their families.

"At Kellogg, a promise is a commitment. And our Better Days Promise begins with our people," Slingerland said. "We're grateful that so many employees are passionate about helping create better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030."

What does a perfect snack do? It crunches!

The "crunch" factor was on top as an important component of the perfect snack in the latest Frito-Lay U.S. Trend Index. The index polled consumers on their snacking preferences and found that more than 70 percent of snackers would reach for a food with a crunch when considering their perfect snack.

Beyond crunch, the Snack Index found other important snack factors included sweet (66%), salty (61%) and filling (53%). Almost half of those surveyed expressed that, when thinking of a perfect snack, that snack is also nostalgic and reminds them of a specific moment in time (49%).

"Consumers are at the heart of all we do, so considering every component of a snack – including the crunch factor – is very important to us," said Denise Lefebvre, senior vice president of R&D for Frito-Lay and Quaker Foods North America. "We know the perfect snack is different for everyone, which is why we constantly listen to consumers and then engage our chefs and our Culinary Center to provide variety, deliver on flavor and explore new recipes consumers love."

While Frito-Lay predicts that all adults will continue to look for crunchy snacks in 2023, generational differences and end-of-year snacking behaviors also contribute to trends to watch.

‍A Generational Snacking Gap‍

Snacking habits vary by generation and snacking is not one size fits all. The latest Snack Index showed that nearly 50% of Gen Z believes snacking is most satisfying after dark. They are also twice as likely as other generations to order delivery when a snack craving hits. On the other hand, 50% of millennials satisfy their late-night snack cravings by visiting grocery or convenience stores. GenXers (64%) and baby boomers (62%) are most likely to prepare a comfort food recipe at home.
‍

The Joy of Holiday Snacking‍

Heading into the holiday, snacking is associated with good feelings. While 65% of adults crave snacks the most when they want to treat themselves, 61% are unlikely to crave snacks when they are feeling down during the holidays according to the Snack Index. Snacking is also a sensory experience, with 55% of those surveyed indicating they crave snacks most when they smell them and 52% crave snacks when they see them.

For 45% of respondents looking for a flavor that is available during a limited time and 49% looking forward to variety and party packs this holiday, specialty offerings will be a key factor. Americans are also looking to share their treats – 55% most look forward to sharing snacks with friends and family this season. According to the Snack Index, 62% of GenZers and 52% of millennials will be turning to social media for holiday recipes to try.

While Americans are more likely to try a recipe made with Lay's Potato Chips (46%), they also responded that they'll most likely try out a recipe with Rold Gold Pretzels (40%) than Cheetos Original (37%).

"As people of all ages experiment with recipes and enjoy snacks this holiday season, we're excited to bring them new limited time products such as Lay's Clusters, Cheetos Snowflakes, PopCorners Cinnamon Sugar and more, as well as fun new recipes made by our very own consumers that include your favorite snacks," said Lefebvre.

For more inspiration, a newly revamped website with never before seen Frito-Lay and Quaker recipes has just been released at MoreSmilesWithEveryBite.com. This new site propels engagement with Frito-Lay and Quaker consumers by empowering innovative ways to incorporate our products into their daily lives while also incentivizing them to submit their own recipes and snacking ideas.
