Thanks to the generosity of local supporters, Olympia Education Foundation raised $1,300 through Albertsons Companies Foundation’s Nourish the American Dream campaign, a first-of-its-kind nationwide fundraising effort that surpassed its $5 million goal and generated more than $12.2 million in support for childhood hunger relief across America.

The funds raised by Olympia Education Foundation will directly support the Principal’s Emergency Fund helping ensure children and families in Olympia have access to the resources they need.
