This year, the team of Albertsons Companies’ corporate office and Safeway employees again supported the important cause. About 8,000 people participated in the 10K walk through Golden Gate Park. Since 1987, the AIDS Walk San Francisco Foundation has been successfully raising funds for HIV programs and services in the Bay Area, and Safeway has supported this incredible effort annually since 2007. The group of volunteers partnered with the Safeway Foundation and raised $3,960 this year. Overall, the walk raised a total of $1.8 million, which will go to benefit Project Open Hand, Positive Resource Center, and the Golden Compass Program at Ward 86 to continue to support the cutting-edge services for long-term survivors of HIV/AIDS. The Bay Area team was made up of dedicated employees, families and friends, who gave their time, talent and resources to make this event possible. Special thanks go to Team Captains River Chan and Teena Massingill for coordinating efforts on behalf of Safeway’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These ERGs recognize, celebrate, and benefit from the uniqueness of each employee. Chan is the Event Chair of the Safeway Gay and Lesbian Alliance and Massingill represents the Safeway African American Leadership Network. “I am incredibly grateful to work for a company that values diversity and practices inclusion,” said Chan. “Not only does it demonstrate Albertsons Companies’ and Safeway’s investment in its employees, it also shows commitment to the community at large. On behalf of all the event coordinators, Teena and I would like to thank everyone who walked, contributed or just cheered us on through another successful AIDS Walk and for their contributions to the fundraiser.” [![Albertsons Companies Recipe for Change logo](/sites/default/files/Clients/RecipeForChange-BADGE-Full-Blue-RGB_0.png)](/profiles/albertsons-companies) ### More from Albertsons Safeway Inc. ###### [Albertsons Companies’ Mid-Atlantic Team Packed Snack Bags for the Boys & Girls Club of Chester](/news/albertsons-companies-mid-atlantic-team-packed-snack-bags-boys-girls-club-chester) May 13, 2025 11:30 AM ET ###### [Albertsons Companies and Albertsons Companies Foundation Awarded 2025 Gold Halo Award](/news/albertsons-companies-and-albertsons-companies-foundation-awarded-2025-gold-halo-award) May 8, 2025 1:30 PM ET ###### [Albertsons Companies Store Directors Pack Snacks for Athletes at Special Olympics Washington Spring Games](/news/albertsons-companies-store-directors-pack-snacks-athletes-special-olympics-washington-spring) May 6, 2025 1:00 PM ET ###### [Albertsons Companies Raised $300K for Charitable Causes With Beast Philanthropy in Recent Campaign](/news/albertsons-companies-raised-300k-charitable-causes-beast-philanthropy-recent-campaign) May 1, 2025 11:30 AM ET ###### [Albertsons Companies Southwest Division Volunteers at Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers](/news/albertsons-companies-southwest-division-volunteers-alice-coopers-solid-rock-teen-centers) Apr 30, 2025 1:30 PM ET ###### [Grocers Make a World of Difference on Earth Day](/news/grocers-make-world-difference-earth-day) Apr 29, 2025 2:00 PM ET ###### [Albertsons Companies Partners With Browne Forest Project To Plant Over 65,000 Trees](/news/albertsons-companies-partners-browne-forest-project-plant-over-65000-trees) Apr 25, 2025 3:55 PM ET ###### [Albertsons Companies Celebrates Earth Month With Boise River Walk Clean Up](/news/albertsons-companies-celebrates-earth-month-boise-river-walk-clean) Apr 24, 2025 12:10 PM ET
