1 Roundy s Foundation 2015 Annual Report

2 A Message from Bob Mariano At the Roundy s Foundation, we are fortunate to be able to partner with wonderful ambassadors who share their commitment and dedication to those in need. The Foundation supports organizations that are integral components of the hunger relief and domestic strife support systems in the communities we serve. Now in our 13th year of operation, we continue to embrace these two priorities. For many individuals or families with economic constraints, food may be a discretionary item in their household budget. Unfortunately, hunger is not discretionary. It does not target one age group, one nationality or one ethnicity. It affects people in all walks of life. Whether a family is marginally food insecure or fully food insecure, hunger makes them vulnerable. The connection between hunger and health is well-documented. Undernourishment leads to malnutrition which can lead to health issues, both physical and emotional. If we can provide a child, a parent or a senior citizen a meal they might not otherwise get or help to resolve discord within a family setting, then we have succeeded in our mission of providing opportunity and hope. The Roundy s Foundation provides us a direct philanthropic channel into the community and strengthens our resolve in the fight against hunger and domestic strife. There is a proverb that reads, A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. The Roundy s Foundation, along with the many wonderful organizations we work with, will continue to light candles in the communities we serve. Foundation President Roundy s President and CEO 1

10 Store Teams In Action Our retail store teams provide a needed extension of the Foundation that demonstrates our commitment to provide opportunity and hope in the communities we serve. Store teams continue to build relationships with their customers and as well as with the Foundation s partner agencies in their area. Often stores recruit the help of their customers to collect food or funds for local pantries or raise awareness for local domestic violence programs. The generosity of our customers and the enthusiasm of the store groups continue to inspire all of us in our mission to fight hunger and domestic violence. 9

We were pleased to have a beautiful day of sunshine and a fantastic turnout of friends and supporters.

The annual event was attended by over 425 golfers, and raised over $750,000! We were proud to host LeRoy Butler, Pick `n Save Brand Ambassador and inventor of the Lambeau Leap.
