Fareway Stores Inc recently announced a second donation in the amount of $200,000 to the Iowa Association of Chambers of Commerce (IACC). The donation provided for up to $2,000 in gift cards to IACC Chamber of Commerce members in the communities Fareway serves.

Jefferson Matters: A Main Street & Chamber Community received $2,000 in gift cards, which were distributed to local small businesses. The recipients were determined based on five criteria related to Covid-19 challenges.

“We are excited to continue our support of small businesses and their employees during this holiday season,” said Fareway president and CEO Reynolds W. Cramer. “As small businesses continue to face challenges, we are proud to again partner with the IACC which understands how best to serve its small business members during this unique economic time.”

In 2020, Fareway has provided nearly $500,000 in support to small businesses in partnership with the IACC and local Chamber of Commerce members.
