Operation Food Search Marks 40-Year Anniversary with Dierbergs Markets

Operation Food Search (OFS), a non-profit hunger relief organization, recently celebrated its 40-year partnership with Dierbergs Markets.  Employees volunteered at OFS, packing boxes of food donations.  All of the packed food was purchased and delivered to OFS by Dierbergs. 

During the 40-year partnership, Dierbergs has donated more than $50 million worth of product and given $865,000 in monetary contributions.

“Our agency would not be able to sustain our level of community support without the assistance of Dierbergs Markets,” said OFS’s Executive Director Kristen Wild.  “Their organization has played a crucial role in our expansion over the past 40 years, and we look forward to our ongoing partnership and all that it will achieve for St. Louis.”

“Ensuring that members of our communities don’t go hungry is a very high priority to Dierbergs,” said Dierbergs Markets’ Vice President and Secretary Laura Dierberg Padousis. “Having our associates get involved to learn more about our partnership with OFS and the impact we make together is certainly a special opportunity.”

Founded in 1981, Operation Food Search (OFS) is a hunger relief organization that provides free food, nutrition education and innovative programs proven to reduce food insecurity. With a strategic focus aimed at ending childhood hunger, OFS empowers families and increases access to healthy and affordable food. The agency provides food and services to nearly 200,000 individuals on a monthly basis – one-third of whom are children – through a network of 330 community partners in 30 Missouri and Illinois counties.  For more information, call (314) 726-5355 or visit www.OperationFoodSearch.org.

Amidst Increase in Head Lice Cases Lice Clinic Opens 3 New York Locations

January 29, 2020 - New York, NY - In a radical move, Lice Troopers is doubling it's efforts to completely get rid of lice across the northeast. Lice Troopers, the all-natural head lice removal service is proud to announce the openings of three additional New York state treatment centers in Port Washington, Glen Cove, and Merrick. With other lice removal services nearby one might wonder if the market is too saturated, but CEO, Arie Harel says it's not. "We opened our first New York based treatment center in Lawrence not even a year ago and business is booming, which indicates that head lice infestations are stubborn and recurring. After intense market research, these additional areas were selected because we saw that there weren't any professional large-scale clinics in the area and we wanted to be the first to fill that need."

According to Harel there are some mom and pop outfits, but they can't possibly meet the demand especially in peak seasons like back to school (Fall), after seasonal holidays (Winter), and Spring Break. Lice Troopers uses a tried and true process to completely rid the hair of lice and nits quickly and thoroughly. Considered by many experts to be the most comprehensive and effective in the world they utilize a manual strand-by-strand removal technique. Its three-step process has been proven for more than a decade. The technicians evaluate the stage of infestation, physically "nit-pick" the active lice and eggs from the head and provide treatment to condition the scalp and discourage immediate re-infestation. All of the lice treatment products used during treatment are 100% natural and non-toxic and are completely safe for babies and pregnant women.

In Florida, where the company has an additional 9 locations, they also partner with local school districts. "Lice Troopers is excited to extend school screening services and educational program to the New York region as well. We really enjoy helping families and schools become lice free and want to continue to bring awareness, prevention tips, and safe solutions to even more communities," says Ginette Grey, Director of Marketing and Communication who also oversees the company's school outreach program.

Lice Troopers currently has a team which includes members with medical backgrounds, patient care experience, education certifications, and emergency services training who will provide the utmost care for our clients.

The three newest locations, open 7 days a week are located at the addresses below. With extended hours from 8 a.m. - 10 p.m and a house call option, getting rid of lice can be as stress-free and convenient as possible. Appointments can be made by calling 800.403.5423.

kasko2go and die Bayerische launch joint project for novel telematic car insurance

Köln, North Rhine-Westphalia (release-news) January 29, 2020 - The Swiss insurech firm kasko2go and the insurance group die Bayerische have started a joint project to develop new, customer-focussed solutions for telematic insurance policies in Germany. In the first half of 2020 die Bayerische is planning the phased launch of an app-based telematic policy. Now that the product has already been successfully introduced in Switzerland with Dextra Versicherung AG, a subsidiary of die Bayerische, German insurance customers are set to benefit from it in future too. The rate rewards safe, environmentally aware driving with discounts of up to 50 per cent on traditional car insurance. The premium is calculated on the basis of actual mileage and driving style.


A unique feature in comparison with existing telematic insurance in Germany is the combination of pay-as-you-drive with pay-how-you-drive. That means that anyone who doesn't drive their car pays almost nothing. And the customer has fully transparent costs at all times. Premiums are based on the individual driving style. Telemetry and artificial intelligence are then used to evaluate the risk of that driving style. The more responsibly and environmentally the person drives, the lower the insurance premium that they pay.

No additional device is required to benefit from these insurance rates, just an app installed on a smartphone. Coverage is billed for the exact number of kilometres driven. The app for the German market will be available from the spring. And in contrast to all the products currently on the market, customers will be able to use the app even if they have not yet taken out an insurance policy. So they can test it and find out whether the solution on offer really does represent added value for them, because a telematic rate is not necessarily right for all drivers. And that is exactly the idea behind the new product.

Martin Gräfer, CEO of die Bayerische: "kasko2go is a new addition to our portfolio and gives customers the opportunity to be rewarded for their sustainable driving with attractive rates. Our analysis shows that many consumers are happy to pay for the services they actually use. And because car drivers can now get the best possible protection from us for a fair premium whenever they need it, we are hoping for strong long-term interest in this innovative idea. This is also another step towards turning our vision into reality: we want to help our customers only to pay for the insurance coverage that they actually need."

Genadi Man, CEO of kasko2go: "According to the main analysts, the usage-based car insurance market is going to grow by about 24 per cent a year until 2027. Market penetration in Germany is currently below 1 per cent, so we want to exploit this potential. And with our novel, scalable approach we not only want to make a long-term contribution to making Germany's roads safer. At a time of increasing environmental awareness, the product also fits the zeitgeist and rewards environmentally conscious driving. People save money, improve road safety and help the environment, making it a sensible, value-added win-win situation for everyone involved."

While kasko2go contributes technological know-how, an angle for creating a safer driving culture and international business experience, die Bayerische brings its proven insurance expertise to the partnership. The insurance group has operated in the German market for more than 160 years, specialising in insurance solutions for private individuals.
