Boys & Girls Clubs Celebrate $20,000 Donation
from Safeway Albertsons & Mission Foods
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland
Metropolitan Area celebrated the presenta-
tion of two $10,000 checks from Safeway
Albertsons and Mission Foods at the Wat-
tles Club on Tuesday, November 15th..
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! We can do so much good for
our community with these dollars and look
forward to putting them to work.”
“Mission Foods is proud to support
