Once again, the Associated Grocers family teamed up with Zane Williams and the Calgary Army Cadets to raise some much needed funds and collect food donations to ensure no Veterans in Calgary go hungry over the holiday season 🤠❤️

Wow!! 👏

Last Saturday, the Associated Grocers team and family members celebrated over 700 years of combined service at our annual Christmas Party. To be able to celebrate so many years of service for so many long term team members truly says something about our great company and the culture we get to enjoy everyday 🤠

The dedication and commitment from this team is truly incredible and want to personally thank all of them for all they do for Associated Grocers and our amazing retail family.

GO BABY GO!!
Earlier this week, Associated Grocers teamed up and got together with our great Retail Partner Dennis Caplette & the Keethanow Group of stores to build 3 ride on adaptive cars for some kiddos who live with limited mobility in Alberta & Saskatchewan ❤️🤠

This is all part of the “Go Baby Go” program which is spear headed by the amazing team at Variety - the Children's Charity of Alberta in which Associated Grocers has been participated in for many years now.

This is such a great charity and initiative and to see the smiles on the those little faces at the end is truly incredible 🥰 If you want more info on this amazing program, click the link https://lnkd.in/gSn4yxrJ

Great Job Team AG & Team KG!!
