PLEASE READ BEFORE SUMITTING YOUR REQUEST

Pepin Distributing Company has been an avid community supporter over the past several decades and we continue to do our best to assist every charitable cause we can.  Our focus pillars are Food Insecurity, Military, First Responders, Responsible Drinking and Education Workforce Development.  Decisions made for these contributions come from our Charitable Contributions Board which is comprised of our senior leadership.  We try our best to meet once a month to review all submissions.  However, it can be difficult due to scheduling.  All submissions will receive an e-mailed response on whether Pepin Distributing Company can or cannot contribute.  As you can imagine, we get many submissions.  We will attempt to respond within 8 weeks.

*State law does govern our donations process and we accept all submissions within our pillars for consideration.  Please note that not all submissions are fulfilled.  An array of factors go into each decision made.  We appreciate organizations who contact us to support their cause.  If you are a Pepin Distributing Company retailer, please read below: 61A-1.010 Tied House Evil Prohibition Against Vendor Assistance.
