Foodland raises $1.9 million for Hawaii nonprofits
Foodland Super Market presented a nearly $1.9 million check to nonprofit organizations today on behalf of customers, the company and Western Union.
The donation, which will benefit 665 Hawaii nonprofits, is part of the local supermarket chain’s annual Give Aloha campaign.
Customers donated $1.54 million at Foodland and Sack N Save stores during September. Foodland and the Western Union Foundation contributed an additional $329,000.
The total contribution was more than has been raised in any year since the program began in 1999, Foodland said. The program has raised about $15 million for Hawaii charities since 1999.
