We are honored to have been named a finalist in the 2026 Best of Story County Community's Choice Awards in the non-profit/charity organization category.

Our Development Director, Beth Lucht, attended the awards gala alongside her husband, Dustin Lucht, who was there to accept Fareway's award as the winner in the grocery category.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to vote for us and help us earn this recognition. We are so grateful for your support!

And speaking of community support, mark your calendars! We hope you’ll stop by the Lucky Star Iowa Market on November 20 & 21, where Fareway Stores Ames will once again sponsor our cozy Hot Cocoa Bar!

This annual fundraiser helps support our core member activities, and we are so thankful for Fareway Stores continued partnership.

We hope to see you there for a cup of cocoa and some holiday cheer!
