Proudly Supporting Our Communities for 70 Years

For seven decades, Freson Bros. has been more than just a place to buy food—we’ve been proud to be a cornerstone of community support across Alberta.

Since Frank Lovsin opened our first location in 1955, our commitment to being a good neighbour hasn’t just remained steady—it’s grown stronger with each passing year.

Last Christmas, we demonstrated our enduring spirit of giving across all Freson Bros. locations. Through the generosity of our customers and team members, local food banks received vital support when they needed it most. Every dollar raised went directly to helping families in need within our communities, continuing our 70-year tradition of neighbours helping neighbours.

As we celebrate our 70th Anniversary in 2025, our commitment to championing local youth continues through sponsorship of sports teams, dance programs and educational initiatives. These investments in our children’s future help create stronger, more vibrant communities where everyone can thrive—just as they have since 1955.

As summer approaches, it brings another cherished tradition: our community fundraising BBQs. These events do more than raise money—they bring people together, creating connections over good food and good causes. From local sports teams to school programs, these BBQs have become a cornerstone of Freson Bros.’ community fundraising efforts across Alberta.

For non-profit groups seeking year-round fundraising opportunities, our Gift Card Fundraising Program offers a simple yet effective way to support their causes. This program has helped numerous organizations achieve their fundraising goals while providing their supporters with access to fresh, great quality food and more.

“For 70 years, supporting our communities hasn’t just been something we do—it’s who we are,” said Brent Rostad, Peace River Freson Bros. Store Manager. “Whether it’s helping stock our local food bank shelves or firing up the grill for a fundraising BBQ, we’re here to help our communities thrive.”

Looking ahead to summer 2025, we’re excited to continue this legacy of community support. Local organizations interested in hosting a fundraising BBQ or participating in our Gift Card Fundraising Program are encouraged to connect with their local Freson Bros. store manager to discuss opportunities.

From our humble beginnings to today, Freson Bros. remains committed to handling our communities with care. We’ve proudly supported our communities for 70 years because when our communities succeed, we all rise together.
