Food Drive co-founder Kevin Breheny said, “This is a very big and nice honor. Kroger has been there from the beginning and they are a major reason for the success of the WSOY Community Food Drive. What an incredible company Kroger is, with a great group of employees.”
Food drive co-founder and Vice President of Development for Neuhoff Media Brian Byers added, “We are honored and humbled by this recognition. Through the entire 15-year history of the food drive, there as been no greater partner to its success than Kroger. It was a great honor to stand on the stage and accept this honor with great companies such as Red Bull, Hershey and Snapple.”
