$18K Raised For Local Food Banks By Fremont Raley's

FREMONT, CA — Customers, suppliers and staff at the Fremont Raley's raised $18,633 for hungry area residents as part of the grocery chain's annual holiday drive, Raley's Food For Families.

The store is at 39200 Paseo Padre Parkway.

Raley's Food For Families is a nonprofit organization that partners with 12 food banks in Northern California and Nevada — where the chain's stores are located — in hopes to reach the 1.4 million food-insecure people in those communities, Raley's wrote in a press release. The nonprofit worked with food banks to create holiday bags that reflect the needs of local customers.

The grocery chain raised a record $2.1 million across all of its stores. East Bay locations —Alameda, Fremont, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore, and Hayward — raised a combined $106,660, according to the retailer.

All of the East Bay donations will go toward Alameda County Community Food Bank.
