Thayne Valley Market, in partnership with Associated Foods’ Feeding The Hunger Campaign, recently donated a check for just under $1,000 to the Thayne Community Food Bank.
Brandon Carlson, Store Director, told SVI that vendor partners like Kellogs and General Mills donated a portion of their sales over a two week period. Valley Market customers were also given the opportunity to donate at the register.
“Ever since the inception of Valley Market, the store owner, Kip Wilkes, has partnered with the food bank,” said Carslon. “So when Associated Foods reached out to us and asked if we wanted to partner with them and with the food bank we absolutely took that opportunity.”
