Freedom Valu Centers, with 65 stores located throughout the Midwest, presented The Children\u2019s Home Society President and CEO Maureen Warren with a check for $37,563 on Feb. 7. <\/p>\n
The check is total proceeds raised during the 2011 Little Red Stocking campaign. <\/p>\n
Freedom stores supported the Little Red Stocking Campaign by selling red stockings in $1 and $5 amounts in their stores. Donors receive a personalized stocking to hang in the store where the donation was made. <\/p>\n
The campaign ran Nov. 14 through Jan. 1. This is the second consecutive year that Freedom Valu Centers supported the Red Stocking campaign.
\u201cWe had some fun competition between the stores to see what store teams could sell the most Red Stockings during the first three weeks of the campaign.\u201d said Darren Forbes, senior vice president of Freedom Valu Centers. \u201cSome stores had to get creative in where they pasted the stocking, because of overwhelming support from our customers and the incredible number of stocking sold.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWe sure are proud of the effort put forth by all of our associates for such a worthy cause.\u201d <\/p>\n
