-The Shopko Foundation is pleased to announce that it awarded grants totaling $981,000 during fiscal year 2012.
The funds were awarded through the Foundation’s four grant programs: Community Charitable Grants, Green Bay Area Grants, Teammate Community Service Grants and Teammate and Family Scholarships.
The Shopko Foundation is proud to have awarded grants totaling approximately $26 million in the last 33 years in the communities where Shopko does business.
“Shopko views each community where we serve our customers as our ‘hometown’,” said Mike Bettiga, Shopko Interim CEO, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
He continued saying, “We appreciate the opportunity to serve these communities and strive to strengthen them through the Shopko Foundation’s support of charitable groups and activities that are important to the people who live and work there. We are committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and educational opportunities for our neighbors in all the communities where we serve and strive to make an impact through the Shopko Foundation.”
The Shopko Hometown Foundation donated 2500 dollars to the Neillsville School District when they opened their doors here in Neillsville officially back in August.
