Community Scrip Program
We’re excited to partner with you in supporting local nonprofits and youth educational organizations through our Community Scrip Program.
To get started as a participant:
Obtain a community scrip card from the beneficiary organization you’d like to support or at the guest service desk of your local Nugget Markets.
Shop at Nugget Markets, present your registered community scrip card prior to each transaction and earn up to 4% of your monthly purchases for your chosen schools or nonprofits.
We love connecting with local schools and youth organizations through store tours, which are educational, interactive, and also free of charge! Tours include a visit to every department in our store, where kids get to see and learn behind-the-scenes secrets, like how our bakers make our artisan breads, how our in-house chefs prepare our pizzas, and how our butchers handcraft our sausage.
As smoke continues to fill the sky, wildfires continue to burn across Northern California, putting our families, friends and neighbors at risk. To help support those most affected by the fires, Nugget Markets has launched a $10,000 matching fund drive at the check stands across all our stores. All donated funds will benefit the American Red Cross' efforts to support community members in Northern California that have been displaced or lost their homes due to the current wildfires.
Here at Nugget Markets, we love food, kids and our community, so when the opportunity arises to celebrate all three, we’re all for it! That’s why we proud to partner with Yolo Farm to Fork, whose three-pronged mission is to help local kids learn where good food comes from, develop a taste for healthful eating and experience the garden as a living laboratory that inspires life-long learning and career goals.
