As a pledge to the continuous support of education and local communities, Superior Grocers is collaborating with Herb Wesson, Jr., Councilman for the City of Los Angeles’ 10th Council district, to award $5,000 to two Los Angeles schools. The selected schools are Audubon Middle School and Baldwin Hills Elementary School and will receive a $2,500 grant each.

A check presentation with Councilman Herb Wesson Jr. and Superior Grocers’ executives will take place on Sunday, September 2, 2012, at 4:00pm at the event located at the Vision Theater Special Events lot on 4318 Degnan Blvd, in Los Angeles.
