Family Fresh teams up with United Way

Annette Rud, resource development manager for United Way St. Croix Valley, stands with, from left, Colin Huntington and Kyle Featherstone, who helped load bags of groceries donated by Family Fresh customers.

Shoppers purchased $5 or $10 of pre-bagged items to donate. Over 200 bags of food were donated by Family Fresh customers.

The Hudson grocery store coordinated the initiative to support local food pantries by joining with United Way St. Croix Valley’s Food Resource Center, located in the town of Hudson. The Food Resource Center currently supports 12 local pantries and numerous community meal programs in the area.

Huntington and Featherstone, both seniors at Hudson High School and employees of Family Fresh, took an active role in the food drive.
