A joint initiative of UFCW Local 1518 & Overwaitea Foods Group

I am delighted to announce the first six "Internal" $2,500 Scholarships were awarded by the Diversity and Training Initiative Committee in 2010 to these outstanding Overwaitea Employee/UFCW 1518 Members:

These recipients have clearly demonstrated a commitment to diversity in their communities, schools, or workplace, and I wish them great success in their post-secondary studies.

Congratulations!

Ivan Limpright
President, UFCW Local 1518
