Giving Back Together: Supporting Families Across Arizona

Join us and make your voice heard!

Our associates are part of the communities we serve, giving back through local organizations like St. Mary's Food Bank.

Recently, our Albertsons African American Leadership Council (AAALC) came together through the Albertsons Companies Foundation and our Nourishing Neighbors program to volunteer at St. Mary's in Phoenix, Ariz., supporting families and individuals across Arizona.

Team members helped pack emergency food boxes, senior food boxes, backpacks for youth, and tribal food boxes, critical resources that will be distributed to communities across the state. Together, volunteers packed 3,384 emergency food boxes, helping ensure more families have access to the food they need.

We’re proud to stand alongside local partners like St. Mary’s Food Bank and grateful to our associates who continue to show up for their communities through service and compassion.
