BOISE, Idaho, October 28, 2021 /3BL Media/ - Thanks to the generosity of customers, the Albertsons Companies’ Nourishing Neighbors breakfast campaign raised over $9 million through its September campaign to provide healthy breakfasts for children in need across the company’s market areas. The funds were raised at the register and will be directed to local organizations in each store’s community. The money will enable 37 million breakfasts for children throughout the country.

“We are grateful to our generous customers who have joined us in the fight against hunger,” said Christy Duncan Anderson, President and Executive Director of Albertsons Companies Foundation. “Nourishing Neighbors, together with our partner charities and generous customers, is making a difference for our community members who face food insecurity daily. With school back in session, we know how important it is that every child in our neighborhoods has a healthy start to their day.”

The donations were made at checkstands at Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Star Market, Tom Thumb, Randalls, ACME, and other Albertsons Cos. stores. Each store partnered with a local charity to provide healthy breakfasts for children in their community. 100 percent of the funds raised will be given to partner organizations that further the mission of Nourishing Neighbors.

The following are comments from some of the grant recipients of the Nourishing Neighbors Breakfast for kids campaign:

Northern Illinois Food Bank:北伊利诺伊州食品银行的儿童营养计划经理杰西卡·威利斯（Jessica Will188bet网址怎么打不开is）表示：“我们感谢Jewel-Osco和我们的社区成员，他们通过滋养邻居早餐运动捐款，以支持我们的任务。”“去年，我们向伊利诺伊州北部的儿童分发了超过一百万餐。Jewel-Osco的滋养邻居运动将帮助我们用孩子们成长和成长的营养早餐食品来填补周末背包。”

Alameda County Community Food Bank:“Alameda County Community Food Bank — Feeding America’s 2016-2017 Food Bank of the Year – has been at the forefront of hunger relief efforts in the Bay Area since 1985. The Food Bank
serves 1 in 4 Alameda County residents by distributing food through a network of 420+ food pantries, soup kitchens, and other community organizations. Because of partners like the Safeway Foundation, the food bank is also able to provide direct-distribution programs to families including Children’s Backpack and Mobile Pantry that includes key breakfast items that positively impacts the wellness and academic readiness of school-aged children. – Juan Francisco Orozco, Corporate & Foundation Relations Manager”

Hunger Free Vermont:“早餐确实是一天中最重要的一餐。对于我们的学生准备在学校学习时，尤其如此。当您的孩子们吃学校早餐时，这对孩子，学校和社区都有好处！我们真的很感激肖基金会再次帮助我们保持我们的通用和阳光后的早餐计划！
