Haggen Community

Meeting 5pm Thursday, March 12, Shoreline Community College room 9208 PUB (maps)

Haggen’s commitment to being local extends beyond its sourcing and into the communities around its stores.

To get to know its neighbors and these neighborhoods better, Haggen is inviting community members who are interested in partnering with the brand to meet with company leaders soon after the conversions of the acquired stores. At these informal, public meetings, local farmers and producers can discuss selling their wares on Haggen’s shelves, non-profit organizations can learn about Haggen’s community giving, and small businesses can explore co-marketing programs.

“We hope community members will join us for a fun evening to learn about how we can work together to strengthen our community,” said John Clougher, Haggen CEO, Pacific NW.

Additionally, with each grand opening, Haggen plans to partner with five local non-profits, donating $1,000 to a single organization on the first day the store opens and 2% of sales to four additional organizations on four consecutive Saturdays.

Here are more details on giving:

• Saturday, February 28 – Haggen will make a $1000 donation to Boys and Girls Club of King County
• Thursday, March 12 – Haggen will host a Community Meeting at 5pm at Shoreline Community College in room 9208, located in the PUB Student Union Building (small fee for parking on campus)
