Scolari's Food & Drug Co will be updating our Friendship Fund program files beginning May 1, 2009. There are currently over 1200 participating organizations and thousands of customers who allocate their shopping dollars to them through the Friendship Fund system, so there's a lot of old data that has accumulated since the last update in May, 2000 which needs to be reviewed and either corrected or deleted.
This project, which also included our Sak n Save stores, is expected to take until August, 2009 to complete. During this three to four month period the Friendship Fund activity will be suspended and shopping dollars will not be allocated to your organization. You may, however, receive Friendship Fund checks for shopping dollars allocated prior to May 1, 2009. Also, please expect to be contacted during this period in order for us to verify the information we have on file for your organization. Once we have determined the date upon which the Friendship Fund activity will resume, your organization will be notified by mail.
Scolari's continues to be committed to our community and is proud to be your locally owned and operated grocer. We look forward to continuing our support of the Friendship Fund, which has donated over $4.5 million dollars to non-profit organizations in our area since inception.
We appreciate your patience during the update of our files. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Jamie DeBates Friendship Fund Coordinator at (775)331-7700 ext. 158
