McKee Foods Corporation was founded in 1934 when young couple, O.D. and Ruth McKee, bought Jack's Cookie Company, a small bakery in Chattanooga, Tenn., and started baking small cakes. In 1960, the company  pioneered the family pack, a package of individual snack cakes that sold for 49 cents. They named them after  their granddaughter Debbie , and the rest is history

McKee Foods Corporation now employs more than 5,750 people corporate-wide .  During the past year McKee Foods' operations contributed $5,949,226 to the Kingman community.

River Cities United Way is proud to partner with McKee Foods as both a financial contributor and an in-kind donations provider of their products for events we hold.

A check for $486 was presented by Wells Fargo to Dawn Darby, Kingman Area Manager for River Cities United Way. Monies were raised through a recent fundraising event in which team members purchased and sent 273 Candy Grams to fellow team members.

"Every year during our annual Community Support Campaign, our team members find fun new ways to help make a positive impact in their communities," said Wendy Griffitts, River Cities district manager for Wells Fargo. "This year, one of their activities included selling Candy Grams to fellow team members. Our team members know that even small efforts can make a difference in their community and that their collective impact can be felt not only in communities across Arizona, but across the country and in some cases across the globe."
