Community Pride

Being a good neighbor and playing a major role in the support of community events, fundraisers, and charities are priorities for us.  From being a proud sponsor for Monroe, Wisconsin’s historic local Cheese Days celebration, to our involvement with employee teamwalkers in the March of Dimes WalkAmerica and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, or the continuous collections of food, or product donations for our local food pantries. We also support the Humane Society, Salvation Army and Armed Forces.  The Swiss Colony, Inc. encourages and supports the involvement of its employees in their communities. Through our involvement in the Green County Leadership program, we help train future leaders to serve on community boards, city and county government, and service organizations.
