In response to last week’s San Bernardino tragedy, The Albertsons Companies Foundation and The Vons Foundation, are raising funds for the victims and their families.

Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions customers can make a donation at any of the company’s 339 stores across Southern California.

“The outpouring of support from our customers has been inspiring,” said Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions President Lori Raya. “Our customers and employees stand in solidarity with San Bernardino.”

100% of the funds raised will be allocated to the San Bernardino United Relief Fund, which has been established by the Arrowhead United Way and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.

“We are grateful to Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions customers for honoring the memories of the victims and supporting those affected by this tragedy,” said Arrowhead United Way President Doug Rowand.

All Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions stores will continue to accept donations through Sunday.
