Proudly Serving: Sobeys #602, Dieppe, NB

Position: Bakery Manager

Core Value: Proudly Serve Our Communities

Having had a blessed childhood that has led to a blessed adulthood, Jordan Richard has been moved to help those with fewer opportunities. One of those efforts is his annual participation, on behalf of his store, in the Moncton Headstart Chocolate for Charity fundraiser, which supports programs for parents struggling to meet basic needs. “Working with the public, you see a lot of people who are less fortunate,” Jordan says. “I think it starts right there for children, at home. That’s why that organization is important to me.” For the past seven years, Jordan has spearheaded the store’s contribution, taking several days to design and prepare 350 to 400 samples of specialty chocolates for the event. He has to come up with something spectacular to be on par with the other participating chocolatiers and organizers say he never disappoints. “For me, it’s given me a sense of purpose and makes you feel better doing good for other people.”
