    January 15, 2025

    In response to ongoing devastation caused by the California wildfires, Lifeway Foods has initiated efforts to provide critical support to those affected by the disaster. In the past week, Lifeway has donated $10,000 to Bethenny Frankel's, BStrong organization and partnered with nonprofit, Chicago Chefs Cook, along with local Chicago-based restaurants, which will donate a percentage of proceeds to Chicago Chefs Cook 4 LA. 

    Currently, Lifeway Foods’ corporate locations are hosting a community drive that will take place at the brand’s Niles, Ill., and Waukesha, Wis., facilities now through Jan. 17, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lifeway is collecting non-perishable food items, water, and baby food. 

    To donate, please see contact information below. In addition, Lifeway is continuing to donate its Lifeway Kefir and Farmer Cheese to first responders and local LA food banks and shelters.
