Been a customer for 20 years. Never thought they would pull a stunt like this. Stop being petty and let the charities get their money.

Why stop a program that helps the community so much? Safeway used to be the go to place but now I am having second thoughts about shopping here.

This is ridiculous. Such a slap in the face to all the local schools and clubs that rely on this to keep programs running. Do the right thing.

TOTAL CORPORATE GREED. Cutting off funding for non profits is just shameful behavior.
