organizations that focus on fighting food insecurity, fostering
sustainability and protecting the planet, civil rights advocacy,
scholarship endowments and providing relief to communities impacted
by natural disasters.
"After the recent wake of the catastrophic weather among such a
large area, we had an outpouring of requests from our
good4uSM Crew as to how we could support the communities
who were affected," said Raquel
Isely, Vice President of Marketing for Natural Grocers.
"With the damage being so swift and widespread, we decided the best
way to help was by collecting donations at the registers across
four states, that will go directly to the American Red Cross. This
trusted organization provides food, shelter and services for
communities in need with the utmost efficiency and care. We'll be
collecting donations at 23 of our stores in the region through
May 31st. We know
rebuilding these communities will be a long-term effort. It's our
hope that we can raise awareness with each customer interaction and
help speed the process."
