Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors Program Gives $9K Grant to South County Outreach
South County Outreach recently received support from Nourishing Neighbors. The grant was made possible by generous customers who visited Albertsons and Pavillons in Irvine during September and donated at checkout to help provide healthy breakfasts for children.
As the charitable partner for these locations, South County Outreach is pleased to receive all of the funds collected from customers during the fundraiser. SCO plans to use the funds to support our food program and provide fresh produce, proteins, dairy items and more to the over 2,000 households who visit our pantry each month.
Nourishing Neighbors is a charitable program of Albertsons Foundation. The program aims to eradicate childhood hunger in America by keeping food banks stocked and supporting meal distribution programs at schools. In 2020, Nourishing Neighbors enabled 350 million meals, invested $10.4 million in schools to feed kids and provided $9 million towards empowering BIPOC communities through hunger programs.
South County Outreach is proud to partner with Nourishing Neighbors to help fight hunger issues in our community.
