KeHE maintains an ESOP—Employee Stock Ownership Plan—a retirement fund for employees. Each year a new share price is announced as well as the percentage of wages that KeHE contributes to employees’ account.

On today’s episode two employees, Dottie Owens and Chris Singelton, share their stories of being in the program, reaction to the new share price, and what the ESOP means for their future.

Serving is one of the core pillars of the KeHE Cares® Foundation. At KeHE serving is about getting shoulder to shoulder and eye to eye with our marginalized brothers and sisters around the world. Randy Shaw—Director of KeHE Cares Outreach—has been a key part of our journey from giving to hands-on serving, and today he shares that journey with us!
