Festival Foods

Every other week, our store leadership teams host what we refer to as an "ISM", or "In-Store Meeting". The ISM has two main goals: to develop leaders and strengthen community. Recently, our Green Bay East - Steffens Court team dedicated this time to volunteer at Paul’s Pantry. Jamie Kuklinski, Assistant Store Director, shares: "It was a great experience learning all they do for our community here in Brown County. Learning where the food goes that we work to put together for them to pick up was so rewarding to see." About Paul's Pantry: Paul’s Pantry was started as a result of a need to care for people in the community who are unable to purchase enough food for their family. Paul’s Pantry goal is to provide a family with enough food every week, for as long as needed, so that they may use their food dollars for shelter, utilities and other necessities. We believe in making a positive impact both in-store and in our community. Join us in making a difference.

We're proud to support and grow community, both in our stores and through our volunteer work. Members of our Paddock Lake, Hales Corners, and Kenosha teams enjoyed volunteering together for the Westosha Kiwanis, at the Kenosha County Fair. Bobbie Craven, HR Manager, shares: "Rob Warmouth, Store Director of Paddock Lake is on the Committee/Club Member and provides our teams with the opportunity to volunteer and serve the community. We volunteer because the Kiwanis do so much for our community and schools, and they are a fun group to volunteer with at special events. We all had a blast, and the Westosha Kiwanis Club earned the Outstanding Fundraiser Award for the Kenosha Fair Stand at the District Convention. Like our Paddock Lake Store, we are both small but mighty. 😊" More about the Kiwanis International: Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  The Kiwanis Vision is to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.

Adam Whitney, our SVP of Merchandising and Marketing, joined the Festival Foods team in December 2023. Adam leads our Business Analytics, Space Planning, Center Store Buying and Merchandising, and Marketing teams. Whitney brought to Festival 25 years of retail experience for Fortune 100 organizations, and leadership experience spanning the grocery, general merchandise, convenience and online channels. We asked Adam to share more about his story, why he chose Festival Foods, and his leadership style. #leadership #lifeatfestfoods #festivalfoods #inspiration

We care about our guests and our community. Each year Festival Foods hosts its annual Grocers on the Green event in an effort to bring its vendors and associates together to make a big impact. The day is dedicated to teeing off against hunger, with all funds raised benefitting the Food for Neighbors program. Food for Neighbors provides crucial food products and other supplies to more than 55 local food pantries across Wisconsin in an effort to combat food scarcity. Thank you to our event sponsors, golfers, and vendors who contributed to make this another successful and fun-filled day. We are grateful to have community-minded partners dedicated to making a positive change in the communities we serve. #lifeatfestfoods #community #festivalfoods

We are grateful for the positive impact our associates have on our team and our communities. Missy Hazen, Pricing Coordinator at our Eau Claire Mall location, has served as a 4-H Leader for over two decades! 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐲: "I’ve been the 4-H general leader for 22 years. I started volunteering when my kids were little. They wanted to do activities and I wanted to see them do stuff they liked. When they wanted to play soccer and there was no soccer coach, it was either step up and help coach or tell my kids they couldn’t play. When my son joined 4-H and the leader was stepping down, they needed a new leader so the club wouldn’t fold, so I said yes. My youngest graduated 8 years ago and I stayed in 4-H because I love working with kids. I love to watch them grow and learn new things. They become more confident and grow their leadership roles. I’ve seen kids so quiet and shy when they join 4-H and become the lead of our drama a few years later." 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 4-𝐇: 4‑H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. 4‑H is delivered Cooperative Extension—a community of more than 100 public universities across the nation that provides experiences where young people learn by doing. In 4‑H programs, kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles.
