Community Scrip Program
We’re excited to partner with you in supporting local nonprofits and youth educational organizations through our Community Scrip Program.

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.
While the New Year usually brings resolutions about fitness and gaining new skills, coming out of 2020 may have you feeling like you need to focus more on health in 2021. Thanks to Healthy Davis Together, keeping yourself and your community safe is one resolution that will be easy to keep! Healthy Davis Together is providing free COVID-19 testing for anyone who lives or worksin Davis.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope this month is treating you and your families well so far. Even in times like these, we still have so much to be grateful for. We, for example, are thankful for our wonderful guests like you, and our amazing associates who make everything we do possible!
Since 1971, Vaca Fish (Friends In Service of the Hungry) Food Pantry has been on a mission to eliminate hunger in the Vacaville area with the help of volunteers and donations. This amazing all-volunteer nonprofit has no payroll and keeps expenses low by renting their facility from the City of Vacaville. This means donations go farther, and helps them serve 200 local families in need per month.
