According to the USDA, 12.8% of Americans are food insecure. This impacts overall health, healthcare costs, and the ability to thrive at work and school. At Albertsons Companies and our banner stores, we're dedicated to tackling this issue head-on.
As one of the largest food and drug retailers in the US, we are committed to making health and wellness more accessible through various food programs at local, state, and national levels. One of the ways we help our neighbors in need is through the SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) Match program which provides crucial financial assistance to help put healthy food on the tables of millions of Americans. In a growing number of our stores, SNAP shoppers who spend a qualifying amount on fresh fruit and vegetables receive a coupon for future produce purchases ensuring more Americans have access to nutritious foods.
