For the second day in a row, Fresh Encounter Inc. has made a sizeable donation to a Lima non-profit organization.
Fresh Encounter Inc., the owners of Chief Market, presented a check for $20,000 to the West Ohio Food Bank. The money is made up of a corporate donation and donations through the public. Chief has been holding a Holiday Food Bag Drive where customers can donate while checking out. Monday, Fresh Encounter Inc. made a donation to Family Promise, donating $2,000 worth of diapers. We have a mission, said Julie Anderson, director of marketing for Fresh Encounter Inc. One of the elements of our mission is to nourish our communities. And we do that in a lot of ways with a healthy safe shopping environment and also by contributions like this, supporting our fellow neighbors.
