Foodland, Western Union donate to local charities

Advertiser Staff

Foodland Super Market Ltd. and Western Union Foundation will give up to $325,000 to Hawaii’s non-profit organizations this year to match customer donations given through Give Aloha, Foodland’s Annual Community Matching Gifts Program.

The annual charitable-giving program runs Sept.1 – 30 at all Foodland and Sack N Save stores statewide.
Customers are invited to make a donation at checkout to their favorite Hawaii non-profit organization. Foodland and the Western Union Foundation will match each donation up to a total of $325,000 for all organizations combined. This is the most that Foodland and the Western Union have contributed since 2004.
Give Aloha was created in 1999 to honor Foodland’s founder, Maurice J. “Sully” Sullivan, and continue his legacy of giving back to the community. Since the program began, more than $12.3 million has been raised for Hawaii’s charities.
