Freshway Associates Support Local Families at Christmas

Freshway associates gave back to the local community during this past Christmas season by sponsoring three local families. Our associates purchased Christmas presents for eight children, ranging from 2 to 14 years of age. Gift cards were also provided to the families so that they could purchase groceries or cover other household needs.

Freshway also provided each family with enough foods for Christmas Eve and Christmas meals, including a ham, a turkey, potatoes and other food items.

This is the third consecutive year that Freshway associates have worked together to make Christmas bright for local families. We are fortunate to have so many generous people here, who really care about the community, and are willing to give of their time and money to make the Sidney/Shelby County area a better place to live.

If you would like to join the Freshway team, we accept applications during business hours Monday through Friday at our facility located at 601 N. Stolle Avenue in Sidney.
