Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to support charitable activities in Rite Aid communities, with a sharpened focus on addressing racial inequities and health disparities for kids and driving meaningful, sustainable change.
Its three signature initiatives are Empowering Children, Connecting Communities, and Strengthening Cities. Connecting Communities links institutions and communities to promote children’s health equity, including through support for children’s hospitals addressing underlying causes of health disparities. Strengthening Cities focuses on reducing health disparities for children and youth in vulnerable city neighborhoods; its stated areas of support include hunger, education, housing, health, income, and other essentials.
Among 2024 grantees, Fresno Metropolitan Ministry describes its mission as working toward “healthy people and healthy places.” Philabundance says it works to drive hunger from communities, increase access to nutritious meals, and address hunger’s root causes. Keep Growing Detroit describes its mission as promoting a food-sovereign city where residents grow most of the fruits and vegetables Detroiters consume. Active Minds says it mobilizes youth and young adults to lead a movement that changes how mental health is valued and prioritized. These are the grantees’ own descriptions of their work.
