AVON, N.Y., May 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Quicklee's, a
locally-owned and operated convenience store chain with 21
locations across Upstate, NY, has partnered with several local food
manufacturers to create healthy, locally-sourced snack packs, which
are being donated to area fire and EMT workers in celebration of
National EMS Week.
"We are honored to support the hard-working first responders in
our area," said Ken Perelli, VP,
Quicklee's Convenience Stores. "They offer our communities a
service that is critically important, especially during these
uncertain times, and we wanted to offer a token of our
gratitude."
The snack packs were a collaborative effort between Quicklee's;
its local distribution partner, Healthy U; and local food
manufacturers including NY Chips, Partyka Pumpkin Seeds, and The
Perfect Granola, who are all members of Quicklee's Go Local
program. Businesses who are a part of this program are given
marketing, advertising, and promotional support in order to help
build awareness of the many products produced in the area.
"Through this donation, we are not only showing our appreciation
for our first responders, but we are also promoting the local food
manufacturers that are so vital to the success of our local
economy," added Perelli. "Quicklee's has and will continue to do
whatever we can to connect and strengthen the communities that we
serve and are happy to call home."
The 400 snack packs will be delivered to 18 fire and EMS
stations across Livingston and
Monroe counties throughout the
remainder of the week.
And while the snack packs were created especially for this EMS
Week initiative and are not yet available for sale, the individual
Go Local products included in the snack packs can be found in the
Go Local displays at Quicklee's locations.
Quicklee's, a locally- and family-owned gas station and
convenience store chain headquartered in Avon, NY, has been providing a fast, clean,
and friendly experience for 25 years. The chain currently operates
21 locations and plans to open several new stores across Upstate NY
in the coming year. For more information on Quicklee's visit
