Scott Hartman, president and CEO of Rutter’s Farm Stores; Todd Rutter, president of Rutter’s Dairy; and Tim Rutter, president of M&G Realty, accepted the 2016 Cornerstone Award on April 14 at the Cornerstone Dinner.

In 2015, Rutter’s donated more than $235,000 to central Pennsylvania charities. Over the past decade, the donations have elevated the company’s charitable-giving total to more than $5 million, primarily to organizations focused on improving the lives of local children. Through programs such as Rutter’s Rewards Schools and Vote With Your Dollars, Rutter’s has donated to many organizations, including Children’s Home of York, Crispus Attucks, YMCAs in the York region, the Jewish Community Center and Make a Wish.

“We are honored to be receiving this award. Giving back to the community is something we are very passionate about. Supporting children to grow up healthy, happy and well-educated enhances the community for all of us. Receiving this award makes us proud because we know we were able to impact the lives of many others,” said Scott Hartman.

With roots dating back to 1747, Rutter’s is the oldest vertically integrated food company in the United States. Rutter’s has 63 convenience stores in Pennsylvania.
