COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
A "Commitment to Community" is one of Natural Grocers' Five Founding Principles, reflecting a deep dedication to making a positive impact. The company has forged lasting partnerships with various organizations that strive to improve the lives of those in the 21 states it serves, particularly those dedicated to combating food insecurity. The reality of hunger weighs heavily on many families, and the need for support has never been more urgent. According to data provided by Food Bank of the Rockies, the Company's food bank partner for many of its Colorado stores, an estimated 1 in 9 individuals faced food insecurity in 2022, with the situation being even more alarming for children, where the figure rose to 1 in 7.[i]
致力於社區
「承諾社區」是natural grocers的五大基本原則之一，反映出對產生積極影響的深刻奉獻精神。該公司與各種組織建立了持久合作關係，這些組織致力於改善其經營的21個州居民的生活，特別是那些致力於解決糧食不安全問題的組織。許多家庭深受飢餓之苦，對支持的需求從未如此緊迫。根據Rockies食品銀行提供的數據，該公司在科羅拉多州許多門店的食品銀行合作伙伴，2022年估計有9個人中有1人面臨食品不安全問題，兒童的情況更加緊急，比例上升至7分之1。
Raquel Isely, Vice President of Marketing at Natural Grocers, stated, "The holiday season is often a time of joy with friends and family, where food plays a central role. However, it can also heighten stress for those facing financial hardships, forcing tough choices between food and other essentials. Collaborating with our local food bank partners is something we prioritize throughout the year with our 'Bring Your Own Bag' initiative and food rescue efforts. In 2022 we took the next logical step and added a fundraiser and food drive at every store. The enthusiastic response from our customers and the good4uSM Crew inspired us to make this an annual tradition. We encourage our customers to look for donation stations in each store or connect with a Crew member at the register to learn more."
natural grocers的市場營銷副總裁Raquel Isely表示：「節日期間通常是與朋友和家人一起歡樂的時刻，食品在其中起着核心作用。然而，對於那些面臨經濟困難的人來說，節日也可能增加壓力，迫使他們在食品和其他生活必需品之間做出艱難選擇。與我們的本地食品銀行合作伙伴合作是我們全年優先考慮的事情，我們的「自帶袋」倡議和食品回收工作。2022年，我們邁出了下一個合理的步伐，並在每家商店增加了籌款和食品捐贈活動。我們顧客的熱烈響應以及good4uSm團隊的激勵激勵我們將其視爲年度傳統。我們鼓勵顧客在每家商店尋找捐贈站點或在收銀處聯繫團隊成員了解更多信息。」
