$13K Raised For Local Food Banks By San Ramon Nob Hill

SAN RAMON, CA — Customers, suppliers and staff at the San Ramon Nob Hill raised more than $13,300 for hungry area residents as part of the Raley's grocery chain annual holiday drive, Raley's Food For Families.

The store, at 130 Market Place, is one of three Tri-Valley stores owned by Raley's. They raised a combined $61,220, with some $21,900 raised by the Pleasanton shop and $26,000 raised by the Livermore shop, according to numbers provided by a Raley's spokesperson.

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, including those in the Tri-Valley plus stores in Alameda, Fremont and Hayward, raised a combined $106,660, according to the retailer.

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