Safeway starts fund for Japan relief donations
The Safeway Foundation has begun a statewide program to raise disaster relief funds for the people of Japan, to which Hawaii residents can donate by check, credit card or cash.
Customers can donate at checkout stands in all Safeway stores in Hawaii.
The foundation, the philanthropic arm of Calif.-based Safeway Inc., will also make a $100,000 contribution and will provide a one-to-one match of all employee donations. Funds raised will be given directly to relief organizations.
