The Community Action Fund is dedicated to supporting initiatives that promote the mental and physical health of children and families, and they invite eligible nonprofits to apply.
The FreshCo and Chalo! FreshCo team has a long history of giving back and now their local communities need them more than ever. That’s why they created the Community Action Fund. In the early days of the pandemic, their passionate network of stores and teammates connected with their local communities to create localized solutions that helped address their most urgent needs. They trust that their store teams know their communities best; that’s how the Community Action Fund was able to direct food and funds to make an immediate, meaningful difference.
