Our Associates Celebrate Dia de los Muertos!
Day of the Dead is a significant time for our Hispanic associates to connect with their heritage and loved ones. Hear their personal stories and discover how they incorporate Our Brands into their cherished traditions.
Maiya, a bakery clerk at Fon Du Lac West, finds great comfort in the annual visits from her ancestors. She lovingly prepares their favorite foods, water, beer, and meaningful symbols such as a collar for a beloved dog or cherished books. This tradition brings her a deep sense of connection and peace.
“Day of the dead to me means family and remembering those who sacrificed so much for me to be here.”
The Day of the Dead can bring comfort to an otherwise difficult topic. Aliona, produce clerk at Green Bay East, lost her little brother ten years ago. As the oldest of five, she felt a profound sense of loss. However, the Day of the Dead reminds her that he is still with her spiritually. She honors his legacy by sharing her memories of him with others, keeping his impact alive.
Aliona retells a special memory, "one of my favorite memories is when I put up my brother's picture and then all of the sudden his favorite song Hey There Delilah by Plain White Tees started playing. That's when I knew that in that moment, he was there watching over me and my family.”
Our diverse family of associates each have a story to tell. Day of the Dead is a time for them to reconnect with those that shaped them.
