| Every year, your friends and neighbors who work or volunteer at important non-profit organizations in your community ask your local Fred Meyer Store for donations. In 2007, Fred Meyer responded by donating $425,265 to organizations that work in these focus areas:
• Youth Development: Supporting opportunities for youth to build character, increase self
esteem, develop leadership and social skills, and participate in constructive life experiences.
• Hunger Reduction: Reducing hunger and improving nutrition through programs and
organizations such as food banks and Meals on Wheels.
• Neighbor to Neighbor: Recognizing other important efforts – sometimes our Associates
identify other organizations in their community worthy of support, even though they don’t
fit our primary focus areas.

those funds to another organization)
