WEST SACRAMENTO, CA - It is always nice to see companies wielding their formidable business operations for the good of their communities—especially when it occurs right here in AndNowUKnow’s backyard. The Raley’s Companies is looking back on a successful Holiday Hope Drive, which raised over $2.96 million for local Feeding America partners in the grocer’s communities.
“Due to the amazing generosity of our customers, across multiple states, we raised $2.97 million for our local food banks, who are providing essential items and services to families in our communities,” said Chelsea Minor, Executive Director, Community Impact and Public Affairs, The Raley’s Companies. “Food banks are an incredible community resource, and their mission is more important than ever. We are proud to support the food banks across our company footprint!”
The $2.96 million contribution is a result of a collective effort across Raley’s family of stores, Bashas’ family of stores, and fieldTRUE. Across all of these banners, the company secured donations from customers and team members for local food banks. As noted in a press release, 100 percent of the donations stay in the local community where it was donated.
Feeding America estimates at least 53 million people turn to food banks, food pantries, and other private food assistance programs each year. As millions of communities face inflation and the increased cost of purchasing food and other operational expenses, it has become even more challenging for food banks to address this crisis.
We at ANUK applaud The Raley’s Companies in its efforts to support those in need!
