CLARK COUNTY, WA – As part of the grocer’s overall mission to help those in need, Fred Meyer stores in southwest Washington say they are working with the Clark County Food Bank to address hunger for some of the 148,000 individuals facing food uncertainty. Food bank officials say many of those people are part of the ever-growing demand on emergency food and services. This year, August 1st, during the opening day at the Clark County Fair, Fred Meyer continues its mission to ‘feed the human spirit’ by gifting $5,000 to the food bank.
“We are incredibly grateful to Fred Meyer for its continued commitment to our mission to alleviate hunger and its root causes. With more than 25 percent of Clark County residents experiencing hunger, Clark County Food Bank relies on the generosity of our community to stand alongside our neighbors in times of need,” says Rachel Beck, the Clark County Food Bank’s Director of Development.
“At Fred Meyer, we believe in nourishing the communities we serve—not just with fresh and nutrient dense food, but also with meaningful partnerships,” says Tiffany Sanders, Corporate Affairs Manager at Fred Meyer. “We’re proud to support the Clark County Food Bank and their tireless work to ensure every family has access to the meals they need. Together, we’re making a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.”…
