Community Builders: Larry's Family Foods
In every small town, there are certain places that become part of the fabric of everyday life. They're the places where familiar faces greet you by name, where neighbors catch up in the aisles, and where a simple trip to the store turns into a conversation with someone you haven't seen in a while.
For many residents of Forsyth Township, Larry's Family Foods is one of those places. For generations, Larry's Family Foods has served the Gwinn community as more than just a grocery store. Alongside Tall Timber Grocery and Sawyer Village Shoppette, the Bertochi family has built businesses that help meet the everyday needs of local residents while remaining deeply connected to the community they serve.
What makes these businesses special isn't just the products on the shelves or the services they provide. It's the way they show up for the community.
Over the years, countless local organizations, school groups, youth programs, athletic teams, nonprofit efforts, and community events have benefited from the support of Larry's Family Foods and its family of businesses. Whether through sponsorships, donations, fundraising support, or simply stepping in when help was needed, their commitment to giving back has made a lasting impact throughout Forsyth Township.
Many of these contributions happen quietly. They aren't always announced or recognized publicly. Yet their influence can be seen throughout our community in the events that bring people together, the programs that serve local families, and the organizations that continue their work because community partners were willing to lend a helping hand.
At Forsyth Forward, we believe that strong communities are built by people and organizations that invest in something larger than themselves. Community builders understand that success is measured not only by what they accomplish as a business, but by how they support the people around them.
Larry's Family Foods, Tall Timber Grocery, and Sawyer Village Shoppette embody that spirit every day. Their continued investment in our community helps strengthen local organizations, support meaningful projects, and create the connections that make Forsyth Township such a special place.
We are proud to recognize Larry and Eunice Bertochi and the entire Larry's Family Foods family as this week's Community Builders Spotlight. Thank you for your continued commitment to serving our community and for helping make Forsyth Township stronger.
Community is built one helping hand at a time and businesses like Larry's Family Foods remind us just how powerful those contributions can be. We are grateful to have businesses like Larry's Family Foods as part of the Forsyth Forward family and are honored to highlight this small business.
