Jacksons Food Stores Raises Funds to End Sexual and Domestic Violence in Arizona
‘Peace Doves’ Funds will support Arizona Coalition to End Sexual & Domestic Violence

PHEONIX, AZ. (Nov. 21, 2018) – Jacksons Food Stores announced today their annual campaign to help end domestic violence in six Western states, including Arizona. Now through December 25, customers can donate an amount of their choice and purchase a peace dove that will be hung in the convenience stores around the state.

The company will provide matching funds to leverage customer donations to the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, a 501c3 nonprofit, as well as similar organizations in five other states.

“Last year, Jacksons Gift of Peace campaign raised almost $8,000 from the generosity of Jacksons customers that number was then matched by Jacksons Food Stores to give the coalition a grand total of almost $16,000 to stop domestic violence in Arizona communities, and this year, we are excited to provide even more support.” said Katrina Lemmon, advertising and promotions manager for Jacksons Food Stores.

The Gift of Peace campaign is currently underway at Jacksons Food Stores in Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington, with funds going toward ending domestic violence in each state through a local organization.

Customers can make a tax-deductible donation toward a peace dove at any neighborhood Jacksons Food Store. Then, customers can write the name of a loved one or their names and the paper dove will be hung up in the store. Doves are available in $1, $5, and $10 increments, and will be matched by Jacksons Food Stores. Last year, the campaign raised over $160,000 across all six states, and this year, the company hopes to raise even more.

All Arizona customer contributions will go to the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual & Domestic Violence and will directly help support families and individuals affected by sexual and domestic violence, including teens experiencing dating abuse, as well as prevention services, according to Christa Steiner, community engagement manager.

“We are so thankful to Jacksons for the Gift of Peace campaign,” Steiner said. “It sends a powerful message to survivors and the community when they see the peace doves in the stores around Arizona, and the donations mean so much to our organizations.”
