9/06/2006

The Lexington/Columbia Golden State Foods (GSF) Foundation Chapter has generously made a $3,000 contribution to RMHC.

Foundation Chair Jack Pritz said, " We feel that it is very appropriate that our foundation support the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Columbia as they contribute to make a difference in the lives of the children in our community."

The GSF Foundation is a GSF employee-run, non-profit organization established to help children in need. A natural extension of Golden State Foods' value-based business, the Foundation is design to improve the lives of children and families in the communities where GSF's associates live and work through personal involvement and contributions.

Established in 2002, the GSF Foundation has raised nearly $3 million for over 100 children's charities, with more than 75% of GSF associates supporting the Foundation. GSF employees have prepared more than 7,000 meals for Ronald McDonald houses nationwide, and through their gifts, they have helped more than 15,000 disabled children and donated 15,000 pairs of shoes to needy children.

here are 14 chapters throughout the United States, and the Lexington/Columbia GSF Foundation Chapter has given more than $21,000 to us since 2002.
