SIGNATURE SUPPORT
Non-Profit Organizations
Gift Card Program
Fundraising is a priority for most non-profit organizations, including schools, parent-teacher organizations, religious groups, sports teams and other community groups. To help address this need, we have created a Gift Card Program that offers these organizations and their supporters a profitable and easy way to generate funds year-round by putting their grocery-shopping dollars to work. Local organizations purchase our gift cards in bulk at a discounted rate, beginning at 5%, and then sell them to supporters for full face-value. While organizations keep the discount amount to fund their activities, supporters use their full face-value gift cards to make purchases at their local Fairway Market. To learn more about our Gift Card Program, please contact us at giftcardprogram@fairwaymarket.com.
Food Banks and Pantries
Check Out Hunger
Fairway Market runs a focused donation campaign every year to support food banks in the community of each of our locations. During the campaign, each store posts coupons for $1-$5 at our registers and our customers and employees contribute by choosing a coupon that adds a specific dollar amount to their order. We donate 100% of these contributions to the local food bank to help fight hunger in the community.
Food Donations
We believe great food should never be wasted. Because we frequently have a surplus of food, every Fairway Market location donates thousands of pounds of food each year to those who can put it to good use – our local food banks and pantries.
Firehouses
Fairway Market has a long-standing commitment to firefighters, exemplified after the 9/11 tragedy when we adopted local firehouses and supplied them with food throughout the search and clean-up process. In sincere appreciation for all they do, we continue to support these brave men and women with firehouse shopping discounts and unique community events.
Firefighter Food Face-Off
Firefighters are famous for being terrific cooks and are justifiably proud of the firehouse cuisine they create. Fairway Market shines the spotlight on their grilling expertise during our annual Firefighter Food Face-Off events. Our stores invite local firehouses to compete in these barbecue “throwdowns” that feature ribs, burgers and one other surprise dish, with all ingredients provided by Fairway Market. A panel of food experts judges the entries to decide which firehouse gets first prize bragging rights plus a Fairway Market shopping event to benefit the charity of their choice. Members of the community turn out to cheer on their favorite firefighters and sample the delicious results.
Seniors
Senior Shuttle Busing Service
Working with the senior community in our different neighborhoods, Fairway Market offers a free shuttle service to help make grocery shopping more convenient and enjoyable. We consider this as an opportunity to make a difference in our community and to help make our customers’ lives a little easier.
