Live It Local! Spring 2013 Mailer

LIVE IT

LOCAL

The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce encourages its members to do business with each other. By living it local and doing business locally, we help each other succeed!

Forbes Magazine ranked Kroger & it’s family of stores as the “Most Generous Company in America”

Along with our great associates, Dillons is proud to help support the Great State of Kansas. We’re doing this by donating meals to fight hunger, supporting local community organizations and investing in goods made locally—

where we can all benefit.

Fighting Hunger

In 2012, our stores donated 2,585,270 Meals to feed those who are hungry in our hometowns. In partnership with key vendors, Bringing Hope to the Table raised $90,000 in cash and product donations to support our local food banks.

Grassroots In 2012 we provided over $1,690,500 to local schools, churches, and organizations in our communities. An additional $513,000 was donated to a wide variety of local organizations such as: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H, Schools, Booster Clubs, Relay for Life, The Urban League, Inter-Faith

Sustainability Dillons supports Kansas producers, growers, ranchers and of manufacturers. We are proud to sell Kansas Milk in our stores each year. Our store brand flour is processed in Kansas Flour Mills and Dillons Eggs are all laid in Kansas.
