years after which he transferred to the Warehouse where he moved up the ladder. Nancy started as a line worker on one of the few production lines that Crest had at that time. She eventually went to 2nd shift in Quality Control and finally to 1st shift QC where she worked for Marty Barclay for 2 or 3 years before she retired. As each of their chil- dren grew up, they all took a turn at working at Crest Foods once they were old enough. “We are both in good health and want everyone to know that we truly are proud of our time spent at Crest Foods. Thank you!” We wish the Fischbach’s the best and may the 4 winds continue to bless them in their retirement years. 2018 College Program at Crest Foods

This summer, we welcomed 10 new employees as part of our College Program at Crest Foods. They join the 16 employees who are currently in the program. Through the college program, Crest Foods pays the student’s in-dis- trict tuition to an Illinois community college in exchange for part-time, paid employment. Currently, students are spending three nights a week working on Crest’s second shift in production, while also working toward their degrees at Sauk Valley Community College, Kishwaukee Community College, and Northern Illinois University. While students work part-time during the school year, they are also guaranteed full time employment during the summer months while they are active in the program. New to the program are: Garrett Drew, Cody Ebens, Jasmin Galvan, Alyssa Gascoigne, Hunter Kvool, Jennifer Lopez-Perez, Eric Sanders, Michael Thopmson, Austin Wilson and William Zacarias. Welcome to Crest Foods! Jacob Nelson, brother of Ben Nelson (Ingredient Production C), will soon be heading out on a solo coast-to-coast cycling trip across the United States to raise money and awareness for pancreatic cancer. He’s partnered with The Lustgarten Foundation, which was created to advance the scientific and medical research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer, with a goal of raising $10,000 to donate. Anyone can donate through the foundation website (www.lustgarten.org/nelson) or follow along on his blog (https://jnk8705.wixsite.com/mysite).
With a start date of June 16th, he’s planned his route to take him through Dixon, Illinois on Wednesday, July 11th (tentatively) and hopes that the trip will conclude around July 27th. We wish you the best of luck on your journey, Jacob! (pictured: Jacob & Ben Nelson)
