Since 1926, Nugget Markets has been committed to supporting local non-profits and causes in our community through donations, sponsorships, and participation in local and regional events. We also participate in Scrip and eScrip programs in the Sacramento and Marin County areas. To direct our involvement and giving, we focus on supporting non-profits and educational institutions that are located in our immediate communities. The primary causes that we focus on are:
Support programs and activities that will contribute to the success and sustainability of future generations.
Aspire to contribute to the health, well-being and productivity of our communities and workplace by providing opportunities for others to pursue positive life outcomes.
Reduce our impact on the environment and foster preservation of our agricultural lands.

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.
For more information or to schedule a tour, please contact your local Nugget Markets location.
We’re thrilled to announce that Nugget Markets has officially earned a place on FORTUNE Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list for the 17th year in a row!

For the first time in Nugget Markets history, one of our amazing associates has claimed the title of Best Bagger in the Nation! Just this week, Alexa S. from our West Sacramento store won 1st place in the National Grocers Association’s Best Bagger Championship in Las Vegas. Not only did she take home the grand prize of $10,000, she also earned ultimate b(r)agging rights as the first ever Nugget Markets associate to bring home the victory.
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.
