LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern
California-based Food 4 Less is pleased to announce that it is
raising funds at the checkstands in its supermarkets to support
after-school education programs. In addition, the supermarket
chain's Foods Co Division is collecting donations for after-school
programs.
Food 4 Less and Foods Co customers and associates can support
after-school programs through the supermarket chain's nonprofit
arm, The Food 4 Less/Foods Co Fund, by donating their spare change
in collection canisters located at the checkstands in their
neighborhood Food 4 Less stores in Southern California and greater Chicago, and Foods Co supermarkets in Central
and Northern California. The
after-school program fund-raising campaign will run from
July 20 through October 11, 2016.
"The support of after-school programs is an important cause to
Food 4 Less, Foods Co and our customers," said Bryan Kaltenbach, president of Food 4 Less/Foods
Co. "By simply donating their spare change into the donation
canisters located at each checkstand in our stores, Food 4 Less and
Foods Co customers will be able to make a huge difference in
supporting after-school programs that inspire and empower young
people in our communities."
Together with their customers, Food 4 Less and Foods Co
contributed more than $70,000 in 2015
to programs focused on educating our youth, including after-school
enrichment programs, in communities served by Food 4 Less stores in
Southern California and the
greater Chicago area, and those
served by Foods Co stores in Central and Northern California.
