Modesto, Calif. – May 10, 2021 – The Save Mart Companies today announced that select Save Mart and FoodMaxx stores throughout the Central Valley are participating in this year’s fundraising campaign supporting Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera.

“We are pleased to partner with Valley Children’s Hospital to support critical research and medical treatment for children and families in the communities we serve and are delighted to offer our shoppers the opportunity to support the pediatric hospital services that make a difference to so many young lives throughout the Central Valley,” said Hal Levitt, senior vice president of retail operations for The Save Mart Companies.
