I Am Rich’s

Name: Tammie Flynn

Title: Food Technologist II, Research and Development, TCCS (Toppings, Icings and Culinary Solutions)

Years with Rich’s: 21

Location: Rich’s World Headquarters, Buffalo, New York

Favorite Rich’s product: My favorite product line is Rich’s colored Bettercreme whipped icing. I helped develop the colors many years ago, and sometimes I like to think about how many happy celebrations these products have been part of! I love that I can give cake decorators a rainbow of colors for decorating cakes that customers will take home and use to celebrate special occasions.

Favorite hobby: Collecting penguins.

Proudest moment at Rich’s: My proudest moment has to be a recent project I worked on. I created a new, green whipped topping that one of our customers used for a popular limited-time offer. It’s the best feeling when you can see what you’ve created in the marketplace, and this one was even more special because I was able to go to the restaurant and see every table in there with our product on it!

Next big personal or professional goal: To create more great-tasting products for years to come!

I Am Rich’s

Name: Jennifer VanHoff

Title: Invoicing Specialist

Years with Rich’s: 9

Location: Rich’s World Headquarters, Buffalo, New York

Favorite Rich’s product: White Bread Dough, because when I was a kid, my mother made monkey bread with it on Saturday mornings. So, it’s a very special childhood memory.

Why did you first decide to become a volunteer or otherwise get involved in community service? I have always been the type of individual who pays it forward. Even when I was a temp here at Rich’s, I was doing Meals on Wheels. I believe I am truly blessed. My life events have made me the person I am today and there will always be someone whose existence I feel I can help make better.

What generally has been the nature of your volunteer contributions and commitment to “Bettering Your Community”? Traditionally, I choose volunteer opportunities that touch my heart, and while most of them do that, a few really stand out. I really want to help bring a brightness to someone’s day or life. Meals on Wheels helps me do that for the individuals on our route – they call me by name and when I call them by name, they smile and know that I am there to see them. It makes it all worth it. Recently, I have become more involved with Niagara Hospice, the place that helped my grandmother and me get through her end-of-life transition. Now, from that cherished experience, I can help other families come out on the other side of a loss better for having been through it. I know it’s a hard experience, but I survived it and I’m better for having had Niagara Hospice on my side.

How has being a Rich’s associate influenced or contributed to the success of your volunteer activities? No matter who, no matter what, no matter where, Rich’s inspires me. It has provided me the outlet to give, the opportunity to better people’s lives, and the promise to treat our community like family.

The company also has instilled in me its mission to “do what’s right, no matter what.” I can say wholeheartedly that the Rich’s family cares about our community, they care about what’s right and they care about me. In addition, one of my favorite authors once said, “Just do right,” so thank you, Maya Angelou, for teaching me to be the best human being I can be.

Dr. Maya Angelou: “Just Do Right”

What advice or message would you share with others to encourage them to get more involved in community service? Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. Be a blessing to someone who needs a blessing. Lift up a fellow human being – we should all be lifting each other up. Our pasts are full of events of tearing down and it is never too late to give. Give a hand, give a kind word, even give a tear if someone needs to share their sadness. Just GIVE.

Here at Rich’s, I can point out an opportunity for us as a company to help and the need is recognized and help is given. I have teamed up with some amazing people here. They are now my family and, as a family, we are a pretty strong force. And with the Rich’s family behind us, we accomplish some really extraordinary, mountain-moving things and deliver wonderful gifts to our community. We, as a company, need to be “a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.”

Dr. Maya Angelou: “Be a Rainbow in Someone Else's Cloud”

I Am Rich’s

Name: Mike Tait

Title: Human Resources Manager

Years with Rich’s: 4

Location: Rich’s Murfreesboro Manufacturing Facility(Tennessee)

Favorite Rich’s product: SeaPak Shrimp

Favorite hobby: Enjoying every minute with my seven grandchildren and that’s all the hobby I can handle right now.

Proudest moment at Rich’s: Being hired. It took me a couple of months to realize this, because of the culture – it is very different, in a positive way, from the culture at other major companies where I’ve worked. It took a while to accept it was real. It is amazing what the Rich family has accomplished and how they continue to maintain a small family culture throughout the company. I’m proud to be part of the team.

Next big personal or professional goal: Continue to support our team. I’ve always been a plant-level person. The manufacturing floor to me is where the excitement and challenges will always be. I started my working career on a production floor and I started my HR career in a production plant. I would not want to be anywhere else. My goals are to continue providing support to all associates, to help them achieve their personal and professional goals and also to help our plant continue to achieve success.
