The $20,000 donation came from a partnership between Safeway Albertsons and Mission Foods. Mission Foods re- cently introduced a new product, Guerrero Nutri-Ricas Carb Watch Tortillas, to give shoppers a healthy and authentic Mexican tortilla. As the product hit store shelves during National Hispanic Heritage Month in September, Safeway Albertsons and Mission collaborated to help the Boys & Girls Clubs. For every Mission Foods item pur- chased in September at a Safeway or Al- bertsons in the Portland metro area, plus Southwest Washington, Safeway Albert- sons and Mission Foods made a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs, resulting in the $20,000 donation. “We are overwhelmed by their gener- osity,” explained Natalie Carlberg, Vice President Marketing & Development at Boys & Girls Clubs. “We always appreci- ate the help of incredible community part- ners like Safeway Albertsons and Mission Foods, and this donation exceeded our ex- pectations!
