Supporting People with Disabilities
Lower Content(Content Module)
In 2009, Safeway raised more than $10 million for two national organizations focused on serving people with disabilities – Easter Seals and Special Olympics. The company also supports many local organizations focused on job training and placement for people with disabilities.
In addition, the company supports families living with a disability by funding independent living programs, play therapy for children diagnosed with autism, and early intervention therapy for children with developmental delays.
Easter Seals
Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability, with the Centers for Disease Control reporting that as many as 1 in 150 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism. In partnership with Easter Seals, The Safeway Foundation is helping to make a positive difference in the lives of children and adults living with autism.
Special Olympics
Safeway has supported the Special Olympics for nearly 20 years. Through programs such as Healthy Athletes®, which helps bridge the gap for many disabled persons without access to healthcare, the Special Olympics continues to encourage the disabled community in ways that make Safeway proud to offer our continued support.
MDA
As one of the largest corporate sponsors of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), Safeway has raised more than $40 million for MDA over the last decade to uncover treatments and, ultimately, a cure for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases that affect more than 1 million Americans.
