Impact, special achievements & commitments | Awe Sum Organics offers its employees a generous 401K retirement plan with an aggressive company match. Additionally, Awe Sum Organics partners with Homeless Garden Project (HGP). The HGP “provides job training, transitional employment, and support services to people who are experiencing homelessness.” The program takes place on HGP’s 3-acre farm in Santa Cruz. For the last three years, in conjunction with the Santa Cruz Warriors basketball team, Awe Sum Organics raised over $2,500 for HGP, by auctioning off tie-dyed player’s jerseys. | |||||||
