Giving back
Because we love everything you do
At Askew's Foods, giving back to our communities isn't just something we do—it's who we are. We believe that strong communities make strong businesses, and we're committed to supporting the organizations and initiatives that make our region a great place to live.
From store-level donations to food banks, to sponsoring local sports teams and arts organizations, we invest in the communities we serve. Our community giving exceeds 5% of net profits each year, a commitment we're proud to maintain.
