The National Baking Company Foundation, the vehicle through which Gary ‘Butch’ Hendrickson channels hundreds of millions of dollars to charity was launched on August 26, 2015.
But the bakery empire that stands behind the foundation which now bears its name has had its roots firmly planted in philanthropy for many years.
Hendrickson is the principal and executive chairman of National — arguably Jamaica’s foremost producer of baking products. Over the past several years, he has developed the reputation as an entrepreneur with a penchant for diving into the deep end for his favourite causes.
In fact, since 2011 National has spent $800 million to uplift thousands of Jamaicans, the vast majority of whom its principal is unlikely to ever meet in his lifetime.
