and Cultural Celebrations
BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest
rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, and its foundation announced today a grant to Conexión
Américas, a nonprofit that works to connect Latino families with information, local resources,
support networks and opportunities for advancement in the Hispanic community in Middle Tennessee. As part of the

with its efforts in providing Latino families the opportunity to achieve their own American Dream through programs
that focus on social, economic and civic integration.
“The Tractor Supply Foundation is proud to partner with Conexión Américas, as they are an
incredible resource for thousands of Latino families here in Middle Tennessee and across the country,” said
Melissa Kersey, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer of Tractor Supply Company and Board Member

skills-based trainings that include resume building, interview preparation and job readiness training in the Latino
community. Tractor Supply will also frequently post job opportunities directly on the Conexión
Américas online job board and will be regularly highlighted in the
organization’s communications materials to raise awareness of the Company. In addition to the workforce
opportunities, Tractor Supply will be an integral part of two large events celebrating Hispanic Heritage – The
Latin Party and Cafecito.
