Jewel-Osco Employee and Special Olympics Illinois Athlete Named Company Ambassador

Jewel-Osco will be relaunching their at-register fundraising campaign through their “Making Change” donation program called “Change for Champions” in support of Special Olympics Illinois this July.

This program began running July 1 and will continue through July 31 at 184 Jewel-Osco locations and customers will be encouraged to make a $1, $3 or $5 donation.

“Change for Champions” will feature Thomas Strack, a Special Olympics Illinois athlete and employee of Jewel-Osco. This year Thomas is celebrating 25 years with Jewel-Osco working as a Courtesy Clerk/Bagger in the Palos Heights store located at 12803 S. Harlem Avenue.

“Thomas has been a wonderful, hardworking employee who knows many of our customers on a first name basis and continually offers them assistance with their groceries,” said Mike Withers, President of Jewel-Osco. “He is also known for handing out holiday greeting cards to all of his fellow associates. A courtesy they look forward to every year.”
