Raley’s donates food to hungry families

Raley’s Family of Fine Stores donated more than 100,000 pounds of turkey, chicken and ham to feed hungry families during the holidays.

Each of the 127 store locations within Raley’s four chains has made a $1,000 donation of meat to benefit food banks throughout Northern Nevada and California. The donation was prepared at the Raley’s Distribution Center in Natomas, Calif., for distribution to local food banks. Contributions remain in the community of each store location where the donation was made.
