Dot Foods’ fundraising campaigns for the Alzheimer’s Association and United Way are still underway. Between these campaigns and our ongoing efforts to care for our communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, our charity committees have kept busy. Check out our recap of some of our charitable activities the past couple months.
Walk to End Alzheimer’s
As part of our fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Association, several of our locations have participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Dot Foods Idaho received special recognition in the virtual Opening & Promise Garden Ceremony for the Magic Valley walk as a Silver Level National Team and a Top Team. General Manager Corey Wilson spoke about our company’s commitment to ending Alzheimer’s, and Human Resources Manager Kari Hills was highlighted for her participation.
To view the ceremony, take a couple seconds to create a Walk Mainstage account. Then, watch the video here. You can skip ahead to the nine-minute mark to hear about Dot’s role in the event. The Dot Foods Idaho team page will also be accepting donations until December, which Dot will match dollar for dollar. To date, the team has raised over $11,000.
