Groceries for Good Causes

Did you know that Kowalski's has donated over $2 million to local charities through our Groceries for Good Causes program? The intent of GFGC is to help the community directly surrounding each store by supporting nonprofit organizations like schools, churches, food shelves, youth support groups and Animal Humane Societies, to name a few. These local organizations then use the funds to help others directly.

Each market has a unique mix of 10 active organizations at a time. Most locations have a waiting list for this program and rotate organizations every six months. This process allows Kowalski's charitable giving to benefit the local organizations that matter most to the customers in the neighborhood their store serves.

You can help decide which organizations receive the most support by placing your receipts in labeled boxes at the front of the store, each representing a different community organization. Kowalski's makes a donation every quarter based on the total number of receipts collected in each charity's box. All the charities receive a donation; the more receipts a charity receives, the more funds they'll get.

Contact your local market for more information or to inquire about having a box allocated to your nonprofit.
