Stater Bros. is spreading cheer this holiday season by giving back to the loyal communities it serves. To brighten the holidays for those in need, Stater Bros. Charities donated over $840,000 to local non-profit organizations that benefit hunger relief and children’s well-being initiatives.
“For many, the holidays are typically a time of warm meals and wrapped toys underneath a Christmas tree. But, for far too many this is simply not the case,” said Nancy Negrette Stater Bros. Charities Chairman and President. “That’s why Stater Bros. Charities stepped in to make the holiday season a little brighter for those in need,” Negrette added.
