Giving Back to Our Community

We talk a lot about wanting to play a role in our community, and that's more than just a marketing pitch. While it is great for business if our customers feel connected to our store and that The Glass Jug is playing an active role in the  community, we also need to put our money where our mouth is. Throughout the year, we donate and sponsor several local charitable organizations. This includes our sponsorship of the Team on Draft cycling team that raised a total of over $125k for the National MS Society.
