WP Rawl partners with Katie Krops
Pelion, S.C.-based WP Rawl joined South Carolina non-profit group Katie’s Krops at a recently opened BJ’s Wholesale Club in Summerville, S.C. to help combat hunger in the community.
WP Rawl representatives joined Katie’s Krops founder Katie Stagliano at the Aug. 8 event, according to a news release.
Shoppers could sample two recipes featuring WP Rawl’s Nature’s Greens product line prepared by Katie’s Krops Chef Ryan Hermann. Many BJ’s Wholesale Club members gave non-perishable food items to help feed local residents at the monthly Katie’s Krops Dinners at the Summerville Baptist Church, according to the release.
BJ’s Wholesale Club, through its charitable foundation, also donated $5,000 to Katie’s Krops.
“WP Rawl is proud to support such a great local organization,” Christine Jackson, marketing communications manager for WP Rawl, said in the release. “Our team was able to experience the Katie’s
Krops dinners first hand this year at our Katie’s Krops Camp, so knowing these donations are going to help feed all of those people in need is rewarding.”
Katie’s Krops asks children to help end hunger in their communities by planting vegetable gardens and donating harvests, according to the release.
“We are thankful to BJ’s for welcoming us into their club and allowing us to collect donations that will help us feed those in need at our monthly dinner,“ Stagliano said in the release. “And of course, we are grateful for the continuous support we have received from WP Rawl over the last five years.”
