“Each April, Safeway stores raise funds to help children and adults with autism and other disabilities by asking shoppers to donate to Easter Seals, the largest non-profit provider of autism and disability services, and Special Olympics at checkout. Last year, Safeway surpassed the $100 million mark for lifetime contributions to Easter Seals since 1986. In April 2009, Safeway raised nearly $9 million for Easter Seals services. ” (3/30/10)
