Since 1946, the Catholic Institute of the Food Industry has been dedicated to supporting the mission of the Catholic Church. Our members, Catholics employed across the food industry, are committed to upholding the four pillars of our organization.

Through the collective efforts of our members, CIFI has proudly contributed to a variety of local charities, including Calvary Hospital, Catholic Faith Network and Tiegerman school. It has been a true joy to witness the gratitude of the families and communities we've supported and we remain committed to continuing this vital work.

Thank you for your interest in the CIFI. We invite you to learn more about our mission and the ways we strive to make a positive impact.

“I’m truly honored to be named the 2026 CIFI Person of the Year.

I’m grateful to the CIFI for this honor and proud to stand alongside an organization that plays such an important role in our industry.”
