Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, and Albertsons stores raise money for California Wildfire Relief

Customers can make donations at checkstands of the company's California and Northern Nevada store locations. The Albertsons Companies Foundation will match customer donations up to $500,000.  

"We have a longstanding history serving California. We're committed to helping our neighbors during this crisis," said Christy Duncan Anderson, Executive Director of the Albertsons Companies Foundation. "We know the needs are great and we want to make a meaningful impact to help people recover."

Along with financial assistance, Safeway's Northern California Division is working with the Red Cross to donate tractor trailers to bring and store food to help evacuation shelters. They are also working with multiple local organizations throughout Napa and Sonoma counties to provide food and other necessities to multiple shelters.

Safeway, Vons, Pavilions and Albertsons are banners that operate under Albertsons Companies, one of the largest food and drug retailers in the United States. Albertsons Companies is committed to helping people across the country live better lives by making a meaningful difference, neighborhood by neighborhood.
