Overview

Hannaford Charitable Foundation

We have a long history of supporting our communities through volunteerism, donations and community leadership. The Hannaford Charitable Foundation is one of many ways we support our communities.

The Foundation's mission is to invest in creating and sustaining healthy communities in our five-state region by providing financial support to nonprofit organizations and programs that focus on improvement of the root causes impacting the quality of life for our customers, associates and neighbors. Our areas of focus for financial support are food, education and health.

* Education – We help to deliver strong programs that prepare people through all stages of life for success in education and readiness to enter the workforce.
* Health – We support organizations that provide quality programs focusing on promoting healthy lifestyles and improved care.
