FOUNDER'S NOTE
we are aficio22
At aficio22, our mission is to bring you the freshest, best olive oil from the most recent harvest, support local farmers and businesses in our community, and help children and youth get the resources they need to grow and succeed.
2 for 2 donations
As we grow our business, we also want to help build stronger communities. We were fortunate to grow up with loving families, a safe home, good food, and quality education — but many children today face tough challenges. We believe every child deserves the resources and support to live a healthy, successful life and face the future with confidence. That’s why we donate 2% of our sales each year to organizations dedicated to improving children’s lives. This commitment is at the heart of who we are.
our partner organizations
We encourage you to learn more about our child and youth-serving partners, Big Brothers Big Sisters and A Step Beyond.
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.
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.
