This week, over 30 associates from our NorCal Division Support team joined forces for an inspiring Hackathon volunteer event as part of our Million Hour Volunteer Rally. Together, we collaborated with local non-profits in the Bay Area brainstorming innovative solutions to the challenges they face in nourishing our neighbors in need. Thank you to everyone who participated and continues to support this initiative to help make a difference in their community. https://lnkd.in/gma2BiBt

The Lahaina Safeway recently hosted a commemorative gathering in honor of the one-year anniversary of the Maui fires. We stand together in gratitude for the incredible support of our associates, customers, and the community. The Safeway Foundation's campaign held during the fires demonstrated the strength of unity, raising over $1 million in aid to assist various non-profits including the Maui Food Bank, Hawaii Foodbank, Boys and Girls Club of Maui, Red Cross Hawaii, and Salvation Army Hawaii. Safeway also made a heartfelt contribution to King Kamehameha III Elementary School with a $10,000 donation in gift cards, as students returned to school at their new temporary location following the devastation of their original site in the fire. A special thank you to Hawaii Senator Angus McKelvey and Mahina Martin from the Office of Maui County Mayor Bissen for joining us in honoring this spirit of aloha.
