Boone, Iowa-based Fareway Stores is planning a second distribution of the Fareway Family Front Line Plan, which will provide a cash bonus to its hourly employees who have worked on the front lines during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
A cash bonus will be paid to each hourly employee that worked in July or August and who was employed as of Aug. 22. The bonuses range up to $500 per employee, with a total investment of several million dollars to approximately 10,200 front-line employees. The Fareway corporate office will distribute the bonuses to qualifying hourly employees on Friday, Sept. 4.

With their continued hard work and willingness to meet new expectations, we will rise above future challenges.”
