Salem's Food Drive Comes To A Successful Conclusion

Salem Distributing Company is always looking for ways to give back to our communities. Salem’s ESOP team spearheaded a company-wide food drive, with donations going to the Clemmons Food Pantry in North Carolina and the Interfaith Food Center in California. Our employee owners stepped up, donating just under 2,000 lbs of food. We are proud of our employee owners and glad to be part of such wonderful communities.
