HEF is FULL of Thanks for The Rite Aid Foundation
The Rite Aid Foundation has generously gifted Henrico Education Foundation with a $10,000 grant as part of its annual Giving Tuesday grant award. Our leadership has decided to use this grant to support our Community Learning Centers.
HEF is one of nearly 500 partner charities across the country receiving a grant from The Rite Aid Foundation. The grants are funded through Rite Aid’s KidCents customer round-up program. The Foundation donated a total of $4.8 million on Giving Tuesday this year.
“Henrico Education Foundation shares The Rite Aid Foundation’s caring commitment to creating healthier and more equitable neighborhoods,” said Matthew DeCamara, executive director of The Rite Aid Foundation, a public charity established by Rite Aid in 2001. “All of our Giving Tuesday grant recipients address the profound realities of racial inequities and health disparities through their own ways and strategies – and have done it during an unprecedented public-health crisis that has significantly interrupted normal programming, fundraising events and daily operations. We’re grateful to support their important work and uplift our neighborhoods together.”
