William Kreamer of Chesapeake’s Bounty wanted to find a way to support Calvert Hospice, he decided to donate one dollar for every Christmas tree sold. That totaled more than $1,200 when combined with outright donations from his customers. “I did this last year and it was such a success, I decided to do it again this year,” Kreamer noted. “You took such great care of both my grandmother and grandfather that I needed to find a way to give back.” Kreamer concluded.
Chesapeake’s Bounty was originally founded in 1994 by the late Greg Ciesielski, a teacher, waterman, and entrepreneur. His daughter, Marci Kreamer, managed the storefront and is the kind face that most people remember when they think of the store. Over the years, Chesapeake’s Bounty grew tremendously thanks to the support of the Calvert County community and kind patrons from other areas.
In September of 2007 Greg’s grandson, William Kreamer. took over the reins and within a year, a new store location on small farm in St. Leonard, MD took shape. That location is now flourishing as people discover the benefits of buying local, quality food products.
“We rely on local businesses to support Calvert Hospice,” stated Brenda Laughhunn, Executive Director of Calvert Hospice. “We are so grateful for the support of Chesapeake’s Bounty and the generosity of William Kreamer and his family,” Laughhunn concluded.
