FOUNDER'S NOTE
we are aficio22
At aficio22, our mission is simple: to bring you the freshest, highest-quality olive oil, support local California farmers, and help children and youth access the resources they need to grow and succeed. Every bottle reflects our passion for flavor, community, and making a positive impact.
2 for 2 donations
As we grow our business, we’re also committed to strengthening our communities. We were fortunate to grow up with loving families, safe homes, nourishing food, and quality education — yet many children today don’t have the same opportunities. We believe every child deserves the support and resources to live a healthy, confident, and successful life. That’s why we donate 2% of our sales each year to organizations dedicated to improving children’s lives — a commitment that lies at the heart of who we are.
our partner organizations
We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why we partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters and A Step Beyond to support and empower youth in our communities.
empowering youth through mentorship
The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is to “create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth”. The Big Brothers Big Sisters vision is one in which all youth achieve their full potential.
By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers, and others in the community BBBS is accountable for each child in the program achieving: higher aspirations, better relations, avoidance of risky behaviors, and educational success.
empowering youth through dance
A Step Beyond (ASB) is a Creative Youth Development after-school program in Escondido, California, providing its child and youth participants with dance training and performance opportunities, academic assistance, social/emotional supports, mentorship, and life-planning guidance.
ASB is unique because once a child enters the program, they are expected to remain for nine to ten years. ASB provides all of its services, resources, and support to participants at no cost to participants’ families. All of ASB’s participants come from families with incomes placing them at or below the federal poverty level.
