Being active members of the communities we serve is one of the more rewarding aspects of being a neighborhood grocery store—whether sourcing seasonally and locally, supporting nonprofits, providing low-interest loans to partners, or paying it forward with our Neighbor Rewards Gift It! program.

And special thanks to our Neighbor Rewards members who have contributed to the Gift It! program; we’re excited to announce our latest beneficiaries: Impact NW, Native American Youth Family Center (NAYA), and Zenger Farm.

Not only do our Neighbor Rewards members earn points for shopping, but with Gift It! They can gift all or a part of the rewards they earn (in dollar increments) to one of our featured local partners (local nonprofits, neighborhood organizations, or social initiatives that connect with our mission to build community through good food).

So far, Neighbor Rewards members have gifted $115,000 to local organizations since the program started in 2020—including the Oregon Food Bank, Meals on Wheels People, Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO), and the New Seasons Partner Fund.

Read on to find out more about our current Gift It! beneficiaries and how you can sign up to use your rewards to make a big difference in the community.

Every Oregonian should have access to healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. And thanks to you and your Neighbor Rewards gifts, we have the great honor of supporting these incredible organizations on a mission to create greater food security.

Your rewards will be invested equally between Impact NW, NAYA, and Zenger Farm.
