Ralphs Grocery Company has contributed more than $6 million to local communities and charitable causes in Southern California, as well as 3.4 million pounds of fresh food to its Feeding America partner agencies.
These donations—which include donations made by Ralphs, the company's charitable foundation, associates and through in-store fundraising—provided much-needed financial support to thousands of local schools, hunger relief agencies and non-profit organizations in Southern California communities where the company operates stores, say company officials.
"Ralphs recognizes the importance of investing in the communities where our associates and customers live and work," says Donna Giordano, president of Ralphs. "Giving back to our communities is an important part of Ralphs culture and social responsibility in Southern California."
Ralphs focuses its charitable giving in five key areas: hunger relief; K-12 education; advancement of women and minorities; women's health; and grassroots opportunities. Among the charitable programs that Ralphs supported last year:
Ralphs donated $2.5 million to local schools and charitable organizations through our Community Contribution Program, which provides Ralphs Rewards Cardholders with the opportunity to have a percentage of their purchases donated to the non-profit of their choice.
More than $400,000 and over 3.4 million pounds of fresh product were donated to local Feeding America-affiliated hunger organizations.
More than $240,000 was contributed to local breast cancer awareness programs.
Ralphs supported six children's hospitals in Southern California.
The company supports the USO throughout Southern California.
Ralphs' charitable efforts were supported by more than 1,000 of its associates, who volunteered more than 2,500 hours to make our communities better.
