COMMUNITY News:

Officials for Albertsons Market gathered together Tuesday in Santa Fe to present a check for $3,365 to the United Way of Northern New Mexico (UWNNM).

“We appreciate the generosity of Albertsons Market, they are one of our important Cornerstone donors that make it possible for us to help so many in need,” said UWNNM Executive Director Cindy Padilla, who accepted the donation on behalf of the local non-profit organization.

For 28 years, the Jacky Pierce Charity Classic (JPCC) golf tournament has raised funds to meet the needs of charitable organizations in the communities served by the United Family of Foods. 

In 2019, the tournament raised $500,000 to donate to United Way agency partners throughout the Albertsons Market trade area, which includes 28 United Ways in New Mexico and Texas.

Despite the fact that the 2020 Golf Tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United Family of Foods and corporate sponsors made donations to the United Way agency partners.
