Border Foods is pleased to announce this year’s recipients of the Border Foods and Carol Williams scholarships. Introduced together in 2019, these scholarships were created as a way to help our team members reach higher education goals.
The Carol Williams Scholarship holds special meaning as it carries on the legacy of former Border Foods VP of Operations Carol Williams, who is credited for founding the company’s deeply rooted family culture. Carol passed away in 2018.
“Carol was a person who had tremendous belief in people,” according to Carol’s husband, Border Foods’ Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams.
The following bright, determined individuals were proudly awarded $5,500 in Carol’s honor:
Equally deserving and dedicated, Border Foods Scholarship winners each receive $3,000 and this year’s recipients are:
- Serafin Patino — Northfield, MN
- Harmony Goodman — Allegan, MI
- Rose Pankiewicz — Allendale, MI
