When Jim and Anne Eidsvold moved with Henry’s Foods Inc. to Alexandria in 1990, they brought more than just a thriving family business—they brought a deep spirit of community. Over the decades, they’ve supported local causes both through their company and personally, always leading by example.

Though Jim retired in 2018, their legacy of giving is far from over. Jim and Anne continue to serve on nonprofit boards, with a special passion for the Legacy of the Lakes Museum and remain steadfast supporters of the community they call home.
