“Since the very beginning, making the communities we serve a better place has been a priority for Cub and its employees,” said Mike Stigers, president at Cub Foods. “With so many families still struggling to find enough to eat each week, our hope is that the ‘Cub Cares’ program will not only provide meals for those in need during this busy season, but also remind us all to do our part year-round to help create a hunger-free Minnesota.”
