Community Spotlight:
food-donorsSafeway Community Markets

In addition to their regular, thrice-weekly grocery donations of fresh and packaged food, this week we benefitted from an incredible donation of over 6,000 lbs (that’s 3 tons!) of shelf-stable food collected through Safeway Community Markets’ “Bag Summer Hunger” program. Through the month of June, their customers purchased pre-loaded bags of non-perishable foods for $10 each that resulted in the 6,000+ lb donation. Our recipient partners were thrilled to receive this food, which was distributed among many vulnerable children, families, and individuals throughout Marin.
