Cedar’s Foods has stepped up with a $100,000 donation to support development of a new Haverhill Community Playground at Golden Hill.
The contribution positions Haverhill-based Cedar’s as one of the presenting sponsors of the project that, the company notes, reinforces its ongoing commitment to investing in the health, well-being and future of local families.
“This project represents the very best of our community coming together,” said Charles Hanna, CEO of Cedar’s Foods, the world’s largest hommus producer. “As a family-owned company rooted in Haverhill for more than 45 years, we believe every child deserves a safe, inclusive place to play and grow. We are honored to support a playground that will make a generational impact for families in our city.”
The planned playground will replace the current outdated structure at Golden Hill School with a fully Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant, inclusive, destination playground designed to serve children of all ages and abilities. The project aims to become a regional gathering place, welcoming families from across Greater Haverhill.
The playground is estimated at $400,000 and will be constructed during a community-build week scheduled for May 26 through 31.
“This shows what Haverhill can do when people and businesses come together and invest in something positive for our kids,” said Brittany Safy, Haverhill Playground Committee general coordinator of the. “Cedar’s $100,000 donation will have a lasting impact on families across our city and reflects their deep commitment to strengthening our community.”
