Concession Stand at Saint Xaivier's
Chartwells Dining Services at SXU is proud to be working with the Mount Greenwood Lions Club to operate our football concession stand. They provide excellent customer service and do an amazing job filling orders from our fabulous football game menu which includes hotdogs, nachos, popcorn and much more. In return they raise money which goes towards their Club for fundraising. We are lucky to have such a friendly group of helpers be part of these events! “This is just another great way for us to get involved in the community,” stated Jason Fitch, Vice President of Mount Greenwood Lions Club.
