During the month of October Safeway is raising funds for breast cancer awareness which will be donated to important research, advocacy and patient services.
Safeway reported that for four years the corporation has given a $10,000 grant to Cancer Resource Center of Mendocino County, part of this grant goes to fund services for underserved women in Lake County.
On Oct. 6 they will have a “celebrity bagging” event where we ask people to bag groceries for an hour to thank customers and help raise awareness.
The event will take place from noon to 1 p.m.
In conjunction with the event, representatives from Cancer Resource Center of Mendocino County will be on hand to talk to customers about specific resources for women in Lake County.
The Lakeport Safeway is located on 11th Street.
