Major Market approaches 20 years of giving back

$60,000 in contributions in 2007 alone

FALLBROOK — By November, Major Market, hometown grocers to Fallbrook, Bonsall and Escondido, will have been giving back to the North County communities for 20 years!

“We love to support our local communities, especially when it involves children,” said Sam Logan, partner and vice president. “We especially enjoy partnering with schools, churches and nonprofits to help them grow.”

Two of the successful ways that local organizations can take advantage of Major Market’s generosity are by cashing in on the “Reach For the Stars” program, in which the market gives back one percent of the total register receipts collected, and the Scrip program, which allows up to a seven-percent return on the organization’s purchases.

These discounts can add up to thousands of dollars for an organization. Last year in Scrip alone, Major Market sold $447,280 and gave back $30,343 to the following local organizations: St. Peter’s Catholic Church and School, Potter Junior High School, Zion Lutheran Church and School, Fallbrook United Methodist Church, St. Timothy’s Catholic Church, VFW, Brown Volleyball, Grace Lutheran Church, St. Mary’s Church and School, First United Methodist Church, San Marcos Community Youth, St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, Escondido Christian Church, First Congregational Church, Escondido Adventist, the Fallbrook Beautification Alliance, Fallbrook Youth Soccer, Christ The King Lutheran Church, Bonsall Woman’s Club, Baha’i Faith, Fallbrook Football Boosters, Fallbrook Montessori School, Sullivan Middle School, Calvary Chapel, Fallbrook Presbyterian Church and Soroptimist of Fallbrook.

The “Reach For the Stars” discount gave back $32,784 to the Assistance League of Escondido, Bernardo Elementary, Bonsall Women’s Club, California Retired Teachers, Calvary Chapel of Fallbrook, Children’s Hospital Escondido Unit, Christ The King Youth Group, Community Lutheran Preschool, Fallbrook High School Cheer, Fallbrook United Methodist Preschool, Fallbrook Woman’s Club, Fallbrook Child Development Center, Fallbrook Chorale, Fallbrook Community Baptist, Fallbrook Food Pantry, Fallbrook High School Choral Boosters, Fallbrook High School Gymnastics, Fallbrook Hospital Auxiliary, Fallbrook Land Conservancy, Fallbrook Methodist School, Fallbrook Presbyterian Church, Fallbrook senior citizens, First Church of Religious Science, Grace Lutheran School, Kiwanis Club of Fallbrook, La Paloma PTA, VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Live Oak Elementary School, Living Waters Christian Fellowship, LR Green Educational Foundation, Maie Ellis Elementary School, MOPS/REFC, North County Quilters Association, PEO Chapter B, PEO Chapter WL (Escondido), PEO Sisterhood Chapter IV, PEO WK Chapter, Potter East Coast Trip, RC Hospital Auxiliary of Escondido, Reche Community Club, Soroptimist of Fallbrook, St. Stephen Lutheran School, St. Mary’s School, St. Peter’s Academy, St. Stephen Catholic Church, William H.
