Part of Market of Choice’s mission too is social responsibility and has placed great importance on giving back. They have a clear commitment in each community to help meet the needs and make sure they are helping kids and families.
All of their stores work closely and are super active year-round with local food-collection programs to ensure that food, and food boxes are distributed to food banks and by other means to help fight hunger in Oregon. They also have the Scan-A-Coupon program, where customers can add a $1, $5, or $10 coupon to their purchase at checkout that goes directly to food banks in their local community.
Their generosity and sense of service goes beyond this to incorporate other non-profits that make big impacts, raising and donating millions of dollars to Oregon causes. They also use eScrip which allows Market of Choice to give up to 4 percent of customer purchases to the school; group or organization of the customer’s choice, year-round, when a debit or credit card is used. Thanks to loyal customers, Market of Choice is one of the largest grocery store contributors to Oregon schools.
