Annual holiday fundraiser helps feed hungry

Through the holiday season, Raley’s Family of Fine Stores raised more than 3.4 million pounds of healthy food, the highest donation in recent years, for those in need throughout Northern Nevada and California.

Since 1986, Raley’s Food For Families program has helped raise more than $31 million and donated more than 21 million pounds of food with the help of Raley’s customers, team members, vendors and community partners.

Donations were received in stores, through Facebook, online, and by text; Raley’s more than doubled all donations. All contributions collected stay in the communities in which they were raised and were distributed by local Food For Families’ food bank partners.
