USA : Shopko to provide additional contribution to United Way

Teammates working at Shopko’s Corporate Office, Optical Lab, three Distribution Centers and 135 stores across 13 states have pledged a total of $350,000 to support the work of United Way agencies within their communities. This year’s United Way contribution represents a 13 percent increase over last year. Shopko will provide an additional corporate contribution of $100,000 – which will be sent directly to the individual United Way agencies located in Shopko communities, in an amount proportionate to local teammate giving. “Together, Shopko teammates can make a positive impact on the lives of thousands upon thousands of our neighbors and assist with community needs in every market we serve,” said Michael R. MacDonald, Shopko Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “I am extremely proud of the Shopko teammates who have given so generously to this year’s United Way campaign. As a result of their generosity, the communities served by Shopko will be better places to live and to work.” Shopko believes that United Way is the best vehicle to meet a community’s health and human service needs. We are proud to once again partner with United Way in support of the vital community services these agencies provide.
