MODESTO – During the first week of in-store collections for earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, the customers and employees of Save Mart Supermarkets – Save Mart, S-Mart Foods, Lucky, and FoodMaxx stores – have raised nearly $130,000 to benefit the American Red Cross.
The stores will continue to collect donations of any amount through the close of business on Monday, February 1. Customers and employees are welcome to make a contribution at the check stand, and their receipts will itemize the amount donated to the Red Cross. As with any purchase, cash, checks, debit cards, and credit cards will be accepted.
“Our thanks go to our customers and employees. We are very proud that they have stepped up to the plate and given generously to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti,” said Steve Junqueiro, President and COO of Save Mart Supermarkets. “Although the economy is challenging and California and Nevada residents are concerned about the effects of the current series of winter storms, we have all realized that our situation is not – as the media have described Haiti’s – apocalyptic.”
