Swift & Staley employees raise thousands of dollars each year to make Christmas a happy time for area families that would not otherwise have Christmas. Every Swift & Staley employee participates in this cause, either by donating money, items for lunches, personal time for cooking, baking, and cleanup. Then after the money is in and the families selected, our teams of shoppers go out and work their magic to purchase gifts, warm clothing for the children, and food for the families.
