Position: Post Office Clerk

Core Value: Proudly Serving Our Communities

When Susan Dunkel started working in 1973, she could purchase a hotdog, fries and a drink for $1, which was just less than her hourly wage. She still loves working at Sobeys, and also spends many hours volunteering in her community. “It’s really my hobby; it’s how I choose to spend my time,” she said. She loves to help at events such as food bank fundraisers and Basketeers, where she and other volunteers collect items to help women’s shelters. Susan now brings her grandchildren along to share her family’s values. Explaining where she gets her drive to help these organizations plus Easter Seals, Kitchener Rangers, Family and Children’s services, KidsPark, Empty Bowls and others, Susan says, “I get it from my Dad; he was a very giving person, and I think I inherited that from him.” For Susan, Proudly Serving Our Communities means giving back to people who aren’t as fortunate, and helping wherever you can. “Every little bit helps,” she said. “I just love doing it.”
