King Soopers donates half of a million dollars for victims of the Marshall Fire and makes it easy for shoppers to donate at checkout
The donation to the Community Foundation of Boulder County will directly aid victims in Superior, Louisville, and Boulder County
The King Soopers family joins all of Colorado and the nation looking for ways to support the communities affected by the Boulder County Marshall Fire. As part of this effort, we are stepping up to donate $500,000 to the Community Foundation of Boulder, and making it easy for King Soopers shoppers to donate to support victims of the devastating fire as they’re checking out.
The Community Foundation of Boulder County is a trusted non-profit organization working alongside King Soopers, the State of Colorado, and other donors to collect and distribute financial support to those directly affected by the fire.
“Together our community has endured a devastating year. As your local grocery store and community partner, it’s our commitment to continue to aid in the recovery, healing, and rebuilding of our community,” said Joe Kelley, President of King Soopers and City Market. “To our King Soopers family, friends, neighbors, and customers: we are here for you.”
