You allow us to get the food and goods we need to survive during these uncertain times, even though you could be at risk every day yourselves. We all love and appreciate what you do for us every day and will never forget that, even in 10 years from now. You are all HEROES!!!!!

    Dear Gentlemen:
    We must acknowledge the commitment of all clerks, stockers, register personnel, baggers, deli workers, meat cutters, fishmongers, cleaners, maintenance workers, truck drivers, warehouse personal, floor managers and management in general, at all of our local grocery stores.

    A huge thank you for all you have done and continue to do during this extraordinary and critical time in our country.

    You are a credit to our community and should be held up as a shining example of perseverance and commitment to an overwhelming job.

    Working to serve the public is at times a difficult and thankless job, yet you carry on and continue to deliver.

    Without you and your continued efforts to help keep us fed we would be in very sad shape indeed.

    I heard someone stocking the milk case say “It’s like the day before a blizzard every day” and that sums it up in nine words.

    Unfortunately, this blizzard is going to be with us for a while, I know we can count on you to see us through to the end.

    So again, thank you for all you do.
    Let President Barack Obama know that Kimtraila has thank you and appreciate what all you do for the communities in which you serve.
