Greene County businesses recently received some financial support.
Fareway Stores Incorporated donated $200,000 to the Iowa Association of Chamber of Commerce. Jefferson Fareway then gave $2,000 to Jefferson Matters: A Main Street and Chamber Community, which was then given to local businesses in gift cards. The selected businesses were based on five criteria related to the challenges of the pandemic.
Jefferson Matters: A Main Street and Chamber Community Executive Director Reegan Hanigan thanks Fareway for their generosity in supporting small businesses.
This was the second such donation that Fareway made to IACC to be given to local chambers in the communities that Fareway serves. The first such donation was made this past May, and Jefferson Fareway donated $3,000 to the local chamber. This year alone, Fareway has provided nearly $500,000 in partnerships with IACC and local chambers.
