Norwalk, CT- Dina Houser, Founder and President of Ola! Foods, was honored by Governor Dannel P. Malloy with a proclamation in recognition of their company’s success on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 in Norwalk, CT. “I am honored and deeply humbled,” said Dina, upon receiving the award that evening. “Small businesses in particular work especially hard and face the same struggles and challenges that larger ones do, but often with fewer resources.

In part, the proclamation states: “This recognition is a testament to your tremendous dedication and commitment to your community, the City of Norwalk and the State of Connecticut.” “Your business has created many Connecticut jobs and is evidence of the importance and strength of small businesses in our state. Companies like Ola! Foods are the backbone of our state’s economy.” “I applaud Ola! Foods for donating all net profits to BeFoundation, whose investment in education, arts and wellness initiatives are dedicated to transforming lives in Connecticut. Your commitment to the community is both laudable and an example for other companies to follow.”
