Apples for Students
Greer's is committed to giving back to the communities we operate in. The well-being of all of our customers and employees and their families is an important part of our Greer's Team Vision “To bring added joy, well-being, and value to people's lives.” This is Greer's first year to participate in the Presidential Award-Winning Program – Apples for the Students; however, it was an easy decision to make! The Apples program enables us to not only bring “joy” to the students and teachers receiving awards but to put the “well-being and value ” portions of our vision into action in each and every community we serve.
Education, next to children's health, is the number one concern of parents today. We, at Greer's, care about the education and well-being of our children and youth and the dedicated teachers and administrators. At Greer's, we are parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, and we are concerned about educating our children and youth. Many of our part-time employees are high school and college students working to fund to their educational goals. We are concerned that budgets have been cut forcing many teachers and administrators out of their chosen profession. And, we know that fund-raising is failing due to the economy, extra-curricular programs are being eliminated, and teachers are purchasing more and more supplies out of their own pockets.
For the past 20 years Apples for the Students has worked with grocery stores to provide over $250 million dollars worth of FREE computers, equipment, programs and educational tools to local schools. The Greer Family and our family of employees are all proud to be a part of the Apples for the Students program through Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc..
