Plum Picking

It's amazing how easily a small act can lead to so much excitement and good.


Dynamite employees, along with employees from our sister company, Zamzows, and friends, had the opportunity to pick more than two tons of plums for the Idaho Food Bank, the Boise Rescue Mission, along with other local charities.


Instead of being overwhelmed by the task at hand (the volunteers could have picked plums all night and still had acres and acres to go), it was amazing how much joy and fun everyone had. There were people running about, boxes overflowing, plum juice on the cheeks of the children who snuck a few bites, laughter, and huge smiles.


Thank you dearly to the volunteers who spent their evening picking nutritious, fresh fruit for those who just need a little help. And a special thank you to the Zamzow family! Without their philosophy "Increasing the quality of life for all living beings," this would never have been possible.
