Heritage Grocers Group says its portfolio of companies, which includes Cardenas Markets, El Rancho Supermercado and Tony’s Fresh Market, has launched scholarship programs through their respective philanthropic arms.
“Heritage’s dedication to community service is reflected through the philanthropic efforts of the Cardenas Markets Foundation, Tony’s Charitable Foundation and El Rancho Supermercado’s newly established nonprofit, Manos y Corazones Unidos,” Adam Salgado, chief marketing officer for Heritage Grocers Group, said in a news release. “Through these combined efforts we are helping students in the areas where Heritage operates advance their educational goals and achieve their professional aspirations.”
Every store under the Heritage Grocer Group banner will award a $3,000 scholarship to a local student who demonstrates academic excellence, financial need, leadership attributes and a commitment to serving their local community, the release said. In total, $345,000 in scholarship funds from 115 stores will be awarded for the 2024-25 academic year.
