The next time you are shopping at one of the more than 50 Fred Meyer stores in the Northwest Division, please consider purchasing a few school supplies for local kids. Fred Meyer stores are collecting school supplies at all stores and giving them to The Salvation Army for distribution to kids who need help preparing for the new school year.

“These donations go a long way in helping families stretch their back to school dollars,” said Northwest Divisional Commander Doug Tollerud. “Every backpack or calculator donated means one less item that a parent has to purchase. And when the budget is tight, that is real savings for the family.”

There are more than 50 Fred Meyer stores throughout the Northwest Division (Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana). To find a store near you, click HERE.
