Pamida – Your Hometown Partner

Community Pride and Spirit are number one priorities at Pamida. Our customers are our neighbors, our teachers, our fellow business owners, our doctors—our partners in maintaining a strong, thriving community. We are fortunate that our communities have allowed us to see the successes we have, and we recognize the importance of giving back to those who have given so much to us.

In the year 2000, we developed the Pamida Foundation to focus on charitable contributions to community organizations, those with disabilities, and the underprivileged. The Pamida Foundation has been going strong for over 5 years, but we recognized the need to do more in our communities. In the spring of 2005, the Community Relations Program was born to further respond to the needs of those in our communities. The Community Relations Program focuses on building stronger community relations, seeing better results, and working more effectively with our hometown partners.


The Community Relations Program

Achieving maximum effectiveness as a hometown partner involves much more than the day-to-day operations of a business, it requires a proactive involvement in every aspect of the community. In May of 2005, a Community Relations Specialist (CRS) was appointed in each store to drive our Community Relations efforts. Every CRS was hand-picked for his or her enthusiasm, energy, and most importantly, commitment to the community. The CRS works with local organizations, schools, and families in need, to hold fundraisers, activities, and other events.

Some of the events that Pamida and the Community Relations Specialist have sponsored to benefit various organizations include, Shop with a Cop, Relay for Life, Hometown Hero Day, Canine Rescue, Golf Tournaments, Farmer’s Markets, Fire and Bicycle Safety Programs, and that’s just to name a few. The possibilities are endless! If you are interested in partnering with Pamida on a community event, please contact your local Pamida store and ask to speak with the Community Relations Specialist.

In addition to community activities, to raise our awareness of the unique challenges each community faces, the CRS or Store Team Leader attends local Chamber meetings to contribute to the solutions of these challenges. We believe if we all work together we can develop stronger, more unified communities.
