Greencastle Old Home Week Parade
August 11, 2022
Over 30 Martin’s employees and their families rode and walked alongside the Martin’s Potato Rolls wagon while handing out sample packs of Martin’s Big Marty’s Rolls to the local crowd!
As a family-run business with two baking facilities, one in Chambersburg, PA, and another in Valdosta, GA, our local towns and surrounding communities are very important to us. Martin’s employs several-hundred employees between these two locations, so we want to be sure that we are supporting the communities where our employees live and work.
Being part of a local community is an important experience for individuals and families alike. It is critical that people have the chance to find a sense of belonging and to build healthy relationships with others with whom they can grow and learn together. That’s why we’re grateful for the local businesses, social and recreational clubs, and community development organizations that help to make our towns a safe and inviting space.
We find both joy and purpose in being involved with our community through sponsoring and participating in local events, donating to worthy causes, providing career opportunities, and simply spreading goodwill.
Here are a few of local events we have recently participated in:
Over 30 Martin’s employees and their families rode and walked alongside the Martin’s Potato Rolls wagon while handing out sample packs of Martin’s Big Marty’s Rolls to the local crowd!
The Martin’s marketing team decorated this year’s tree in gold and light blue hues to represent Martin’s two newest products, Sweet Dinner Potato Rolls and Sweet Party Potato Rolls! Martin’s tree, along with the other 50 decorated trees and 18 wreaths, were auctioned off to raise more than $6,250 for the Cumberland Valley Breast Care Alliance (CVBCA).
Over 40 Martin’s employees and their families braved the cold and rode and walked alongside the Martin’s Potato Rolls wagon, which was playing Martin’s theme song, The Taste is Golden! Parade goers could scan a QR code sign in order to sign up to win prizes from Martin’s!
Martin’s was the presenting sponsor of the inaugural Potato Roll Drop. Hundreds of local onlookers rang in an early new year, watching as a large pack of Martin’s Sandwich Potato Rolls was lowered from the sky! Martin’s team was onsite handing out packs of Martin’s Potato Rolls and Martin’s swag and conducting a digital scavenger hunt!
Note: Visitors can now see the giant pack of potato rolls at Martin’s Visitor Center: The Golden Roll. Click here to learn more or schedule a tour.
Each year, Martin’s sponsors a Martin’s Potato Rolls-themed ice sculpture as part of IceFest, a fundraiser for three local organizations: Council for the Arts, Downtown Business Council, and Downtown Chambersburg Inc.
Martin’s was named “Corporation of the Quarter” by the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce.
