Good Neighbors

Swift & Staley proactively supports United Way through fundraisers, corporate contributions, and payroll deduction available to employees.

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.

Swift & Staley participates actively in the Chambers of Commerce of Paducah-McCracken and Ballard Counties.

Swift & Staley has a Charitable Giving Program to support and sustain non-profit organizations in our community which serve areas of education, economics, health and humanities, as well as those programs which provide for the needs of low-income individuals and groups.
