Wooster, OH – June 16, 2023
“Buehler’s would like to thank our customers and teammates in supporting this worthwhile cause. Being in the food business and living in the communities we serve, Buehler’s is invested in making sure everyone has enough to eat and we are proud to partner with the Akron Canton Foodbank in this endeavor” said Paul Stefaniuk, Vice President of Operations at Buehler’s Fresh Foods.
Buehler’s Fresh Foods raised $160,896, which translates into 643,000 meals, through our register campaign and fun employee contests. Everyone involved in this campaign recognizes the continued struggle for folks to put food on their tables due to rising food prices and how clearly vital the foodbank is to a multitude of families.
The entire Buehler’s team passionately worked together to make this campaign a success for the Foodbanks and all who benefit from their mission.
“Buehler’s Fresh Foods has been a significant partner of the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank and the Harvest for Hunger Campaign for many years,” said Dan Flowers, Foodbank president and CEO. “Their corporate social responsibility values continue to positively impact and make a difference in the lives of our neighbors all year-round. They’re committed to the wellbeing of our community and we are deeply grateful for their associates and customers’ support of local hunger-relief efforts.”

Food insecurity affects 1 in 6 individuals and 1 in 4 children.

About Buehler’s Fresh Foods

Buehler’s Fresh Foods raises record funds to support heart and brain health through the American Heart Association
WOOSTER, OH November 1, 2022 — For the fourth year in a row, Buehler’s Fresh Foods joined the fight against heart disease and stroke by supporting the American Heart Association, the world’s leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all. From September 18th through October 15th, Buehler’s participated in the AHA’s fundraising campaign, Life Is Why™. Life Is Why inspires consumers to celebrate their reasons to live healthier, longer lives – by giving. At the register, the company asked customers to donate $1, $5 or $10, raising a record $56,498.
“The generosity of our customers and the hard work of our employees is what made this campaign year a success,” said Mike Davidson, CEO of Buehler’s and co-chair of the 2022 Wayne Heart Walk. “We would like to thank our customers for contributing to this life-saving cause. By working together, we can make a difference in the lives of the people we know who are impacted by heart disease and stroke.”
Buehler’s donation supports the 2022 Wayne Heart Walk Campaign which has raised over $203,000 thanks to Davidson, co-chair Jen Kessel of Aultman Orrville Hospital and the 2022 Wayne Heart Walk Executive Leadership Team. The dollars raised allow the American Heart Association to continue to fund research that can improve the health outcomes of heart and stroke patients, train more than 2.5 million high school students in CPR annually and support the work of local entrepreneurs and organizations working to improve health outcomes in under-resourced communities.
More than 1,700 Wayne County residents died heart disease between 2014-2019. Currently, more than 30% of Wayne County residents have been diagnosed with high cholesterol, another 19% have high blood pressure, 36% are obese and 22% use tobacco – all health risk factors for heart disease.
“These numbers are staggering,” said Jenn Fortney, Senior Development Director of the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the American Heart Association. “But, the community, through the American Heart Association, is fighting back. This year, locally, the American Heart Association will provide nutrition education to elementary Wooster City School students, continue to provide blood pressure monitors and best practices for community loaner programs, and equip the Wayne YMCA and local schools with CPR training materials and curriculum for student training to meet state requirements. All of this is possible because of donations like those through the Life is Why campaign.”
In addition to contributing to save lives through Buehler’s, donations can also be made directly to the American Heart Association at www.heart.org/wayneheartwalk . To learn more about the Life Is Why™ campaign and other participating companies, please visit www.heart.org/lifeiswhy.
