Heroes in Aprons Bag Fundraiser:

Bettering The Lives of Our good4U Crew and Community

Established in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Heroes in Aprons Fund embodies Natural Grocers’ Founding Principles of commitment to its good4u Crew members. Since its inception in 1955, charitable giving has been a company mainstay—co-founder Margaret Isely kept a community food cabinet at the first store from which she would give families in need the ingredients for a nutritious meal. Over the subsequent decades, Natural Grocers has developed enduring partnerships with various charities that better the lives of the communities in the 21 states the company serves. Charitable partners include organizations that focus on fighting food insecurity, fostering sustainability and protecting the planet, providing relief to communities impacted by natural disasters, civil rights advocacy, and scholarship endowments for students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

“Our good4u Crew and communities are the backbone of this company and supporting their health and wellbeing goes beyond free nutrition education and affordable, nutritious groceries,” commented Kemper Isely, Natural Grocers Chairman and Co-President. “Along with our customers, we have always been active supporters of our good4u Crew and causes that sustain the flourishing of our communities. We are proud to officially launch Heroes in Aprons to further our continued charitable efforts.”
