Strack & Van Til Raises over $38,000 for Meals on Wheels

The results are in for the Strack and Van Til Check Out Challenge. There was 23 Strack and Van Till locations that participated in a two-week fundraising challenge for Meals on Wheels. With the support of Strack & Van Til associates and customers across the Northwest region, a total of $38,758 has been collected.

The challenge was between all locations, and the store with the highest amount raised was recognized and rewarded. Customers at each location were invited to round up their total amount or make an additional donation with their cashier associate or through self-checkout. At the end of two weeks, Hobart, Valparaiso, and Crown Point were recognized for their highest contributions.

Each store recorded its top-collecting associate, three women: Mary Schilla from Valparaiso, Alexa Jeka from Hobart, and Debbie Scott from Crown Point. They were awarded a gift of appreciation for their support. The winning store, based on the most donations, was the Crown Point Location. They celebrated with pizza and treats baked by Meals on Wheels.

Meals on Wheels acknowledges the contributions of Strack & Van Til associates, staff, volunteers, and participating customers. Through donations and fundraisers, all proceeds will support their mission to prepare and deliver essential, nutritious meals to the community.
