Our Impact
Making a Difference Beyond Business
At GoFresh, we believe our responsibility extends far beyond delivering fresh products. As a family-owned business with roots dating back to 1941, we understand that our success is closely tied to the health of our communities, the sustainability of our environment, and the strength of our regional economy.
From our primary distribution center in Oklahoma City, supported by our Tulsa facility and Little Rock cross-dock operation, we are committed to creating positive impacts that reach across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, and Southeast Kansas. Every decision we make is guided by a simple principle: to build something that benefits more than just our company.
Environmental Stewardship
We've implemented comprehensive initiatives to reduce our environmental impact:
Enhanced Recycling Program
We've expanded our recycling initiatives for all cardboard boxes, pallets, milk crates, and organic waste from our processing operations.
Advanced Energy Efficiency
Our Oklahoma City facility is equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting that switches on and off based on needs, helping us save over 80% of our energy costs compared to traditional systems.
Emissions Reduction
All of our delivery trucks have been equipped with DEF Fluid apparatuses. This technology is sprayed into the exhaust and combines with a catalyst to break down harmful NOx pollutants into nitrogen and water.
Paperless Solutions
We offer electronic statements and invoices through our Peppers app, reducing paper consumption and postage costs while providing faster access to information.
Cold Chain Optimization
Our temperature-controlled facilities and vehicles are designed for maximum energy efficiency while maintaining product freshness, with enhanced monitoring systems for optimal performance.
Sustainable Sourcing
Sustainability extends far beyond our warehouses and delivery routes. GoFresh works closely with local and regional producers to strengthen the agricultural communities that supply our customers. By sourcing from nearby farms, we reduce transportation distances, cut emissions, and reinvest in the local economy.
Through the Greener Fields Together initiative, we help connect local growers directly with consumers, supporting a “farm to table” approach that promotes both freshness and transparency. Our team also assists local farmers with GAP certification, helping them reach new markets while improving food safety practices. Programs such as the Made in Oklahoma partnership allow us to promote regional agribusinesses at every level, from retail to institutional and gourmet sales.
These relationships help create a more sustainable and resilient food system, ensuring that our customers receive the best quality products while our local producers continue to thrive.
Community Engagement
GoFresh takes pride in serving more than just customers. We support the people and organizations that make our communities stronger through charitable giving, volunteerism, and educational programs.
We proudly contribute to initiatives such as Food on the Move, which addresses food deserts and improves access to fresh produce in underserved areas. Our partnerships with organizations like CureSearch, Susan G. Komen, and Chefs for the Cure help fund critical research and support services. We also maintain ongoing partnerships with local food banks across our service area and have recently launched Indigenous Tribal Initiatives designed to deliver healthy food options to tribal communities through specialized box programs.
Education is another cornerstone of our community work. Through children’s outreach programs, we encourage young people to explore and enjoy a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. We make healthy eating approachable by providing seasonal produce, fun recipes, and engaging experiences that make nutritious choices more appealing. Our partnerships with schools introduce students to new foods and help build healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Technology Innovation & Continuous Improvement
From RoadNet Anywhere and the GoFresh Portal to our Peppers app, we were early adopters of technology that streamlines communication, logistics, and transparency.
Processing Excellence & Modern Facilities
Our Lloyd’s Cuts facility, built in 2017, represents the forefront of fresh-cut processing innovation and ensures consistent quality across every order.
Fleet Safety & Quality Assurance
Every delivery vehicle is equipped with advanced temperature monitoring and dual-facing cameras, maintaining both product integrity and driver safety.
Measuring Our Impact
We believe accountability is essential to progress. GoFresh continuously tracks and evaluates our efforts to ensure our initiatives deliver measurable results.
Our environmental programs are monitored through metrics such as energy use, recycling volumes, and emissions reduction. We record the number of community engagement hours contributed by our team and track the percentage of products sourced locally to assess our economic and environmental impact. Customer satisfaction, educational outreach, and regional development are also regularly reviewed to ensure that every part of our business contributes to positive change.
Economic Impact
For more than 85 years, GoFresh has reinvested in the communities we serve. Every delivery, partnership, and expansion project contributes to the strength of our regional economy. Our work provides stable employment, supports local producers, and drives growth across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, and Southeast Kansas.
GoFresh facilities in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Little Rock create jobs and opportunities that ripple outward through each community. By partnering with local suppliers and service providers, we ensure that our success directly benefits those around us.
Our approach focuses on three core pillars of economic development:
Job Creation: Hundreds of local residents are employed through our operations, logistics, and support teams.
Local Agriculture Support: Consistent purchasing and long-term contracts give small farms and processors reliable market access.
Infrastructure Investment: Continuous expansion and modernization of our facilities stimulate local construction, maintenance, and service industries.
As a HUBZone-certified company, GoFresh also contributes to economic development in historically underutilized business zones, helping to revitalize communities and create equitable opportunities for growth.
