Safeway Adds "Supporting Easter Seals" to Shoppers' Grocery Lists This August
On your next trip to the grocery store, you can help Easter Seals Blake Foundation create life-changing solutions so that people with disabilities can live, learn, work and play.
Stop into your local Safeway store during the month of August and participate in an in-store fund raising campaign at the check-out stand. Look for the messages on the credit card terminal and select Easter Seals! Your donation will support the exceptional programs that make a difference in your community. In 2013, the campaign raised nearly $7 million for Easter Seals affiliates across the United States!
Safeway Inc. is one of Easter Seals’ most generous corporate partners. Over the past 28 years Safeway has raised nearly $140 million to help Easter Seals provide services for people with disabilities. Safeway’s roughly 1,300 stores across the United States (operating under various brand names) will devote the month of August to raising money for Easter Seals in this coordinated company-wide effort. Easter Seals is honored to have the support of Safeway, its employees and customers. Together, they are helping children and adults living with autism and other disabilities.
Safeway's commitment to local communities is coordinated by the Safeway Foundation under the direction of Larree Renda who notes that “One of the reasons we’ve been with Easter Seals all these years is because the money we raise stays in local communities. And, Easter Seals is the best in its class at doing things efficiently so that the dollars raised go directly to clients served by the organization.”
Be sure to spread the word about this promotion to benefit people with disabilities -- and visit your local Safeway store!
