Marshfield Festival Foods’ Chooses NonProfit for Donations
OnFocus – Festival Foods is committed to supporting the communities it serves, and one way is by offering shoppers an easy way to donate right at the checkout. In 2017, these giving opportunities – called “icon” campaigns – raised more than $278,000 for nonprofit community organizations throughout Wisconsin.
Each year, nonprofit organizations can apply through the Festival Foods website to hold a 15-day icon sale. After all submissions are in, associates at each Festival Foods location vote on the nonprofits they want to support.
The votes are in for 2018, and the following icons will be promoted in Festival Foods stores
throughout the state this year:
