This week, our #MemberMonday spotlight is on Angel Stone, Meat Cutter at QFC #827!

When Angel decided to train to become a Meat Cutter, she was a newly single mom of two kids and was looking for an opportunity to provide for her family while doing something she genuinely felt good about.

Angel says that, while it was a challenge to learn a trade like meat cutting while going through a divorce, the classes made her feel like she was part of a community. Becoming a Meat Cutter helped Angel become a leader in her workplace, all while being able to provide for herself and her two kids. After her training was over, she was able to step quickly into the work and now has a skill that she is able to take with her wherever she goes!

In Angel’s words, becoming a Meat Cutter “gave me a sense of stability and assurance knowing that I would always be able to provide for my family.”

Angel — we are so glad that you are a Meat Cutter, a leader in your workplace, a proud member of UFCW 21, and provider for your family. Happy holidays!
