Torani At The Italian Heritage Parade

On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, Team Torani along with family and friends celebrated Columbus Day by participating in The Italian Heritage parade. Strolling along Fisherman's Wharf and up though North Beach we passed out candy, danced with parade revelers, and had simply an awesome experience. The rockin' tunes blasting from the Torani Mobile certainly added to the festive occasion. Want to become a member of the Torani family?

Torani Renew The Zoo

This past surprisingly not foggy sunny Saturday morning, Torani team members along with family and friends volunteered to make the San Francisco Zoo's Koala area a much more beautiful place. In just a couple of hours we spread 2 huge piles of mulch, removed lots of brush, pried out some tree stumps, pulled out lots of weeds, and swept the walkways. Afterwards, we were able to enjoy the rest of the day at the zoo! This is but just one way that Torani gives back to the community that we not only work, but love to live in. Want to join the fun? Check out our 

open opportunities here.

Welcome To Work Breakfast: The Sequel

Absent suggestions from the last post, Torani HR provided breakfast last week to everybody at our East Harris facility. So our friends in Manufacturing, Finance, IT, Marketing, and R&D all got to start their day with fresh fruit and freshly baked pastries from South San Francisco's own Galli's Sanitary Bakery. What a way to start the work day!
