For over 75 years, Stater Bros. Markets has demonstrated its commitment to Southern California through charitable contributions and support for local programs. In the last 10 years alone, Stater Bros. Markets has donated over $100 million back into the communities where our customers and employees live and work. Our philosophy has always been: "We don't just do business in a community ... We are part of the community." We are committed to giving back to the communities that we are privileged to serve!

Harvesting Hope

Throughout the months of November and December, Stater Bros. and its charitable arm Stater Bros. Charities conduct an urgently needed campaign to help local families who are faced with hunger in the communities where Stater Bros.’ customers and employees live and work. The “Harvesting Hope” Campaign collects food and provides funding to over 100 food banks and emergency food providers in Southern California. During this time period, additional funds are also collected at every Stater Bros. check stand, and these funds are donated back into the community during the summer when food reserves are traditionally low. For more information please visit Harvesting Hope web page.

Chamber of Commerce

Stater Bros. is a proud Chamber of Commerce member in every city where a Stater Bros. Supermarket is located. Stater Bros. realizes the importance of community involvement and that businesses need to work together as one unit to improve the local economy. Stater Bros. commitment goes beyond a financial investment to include a personal interest in all the communities they are privileged to serve.

Blood Drives

Each month, Stater Bros. teams up with LifeStream Bloodbank which services San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles and Orange Counties, to conduct Blood Drives at select Stater Bros. Supermarket locations. To date, Stater Bros. has helped save over 1,000 lives. To view when there are blood drives happening this month please visit our Events page.
