East Penn Mfg Employee Wins United Way Shopping Spree

On your mark, get set, go! For the sixth year in a row Redner’s has sponsored the annual United Way campaign incentive shopping spree. Held at the their Sinking Spring location, this years winner is Edwin Lopez, an employee of East Penn Manufacturing for his part of the United Way’s 2018 fundraising campaign.

The shopping spree was a whirlwind. Lopez had three minutes to run through the store, grabbing as many items as possible to fill his shopping cart with store customers cheering him on. In total, Lopez grabbed $1281.26 of grocery items.

“I was excited to win the shopping spree. I think it’s great that my company and Redner’s support United Way. It takes all of us to make our community stronger,” said Lopez.

The shopping spree was offered as a campaign incentive to donors contributing $4.00 or more per week to the 2018 United Way campaign. United Way raised over $10.9 million in 2018 to tackle issues around its focus areas of health, education, income and safety net services and to support more than 50 programs, initiatives and grants throughout Berks County.
