They focus on supporting nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to improving children's health and wellness and combating food insecurity. Through their community engagement, ALDI seeks to assist those who address these vital issues head-on.

Type of Support

Overview

The ALDI Community Gift Card Program supports nonprofit organizations working towards making a significant positive impact in the areas of Children's Health & Wellness and Food Insecurity. The program is designed to partner with organizations whose missions align with supporting children through education, arts, athletics, or tackling food insecurity within local communities. ALDI encourages these organizations to apply for support in the form of gift cards to assist with food costs. Funding under this program focuses on two main areas: improving the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of youth (ages 0-18) and increasing access to nutritious foods to reduce food insecurity. Gift card support ranges from $100 to $500, and requests must be submitted through the ALDI Community Gift Card Program portal.
