King Soopers has donated $1 million to the Colorado Healing Fund after a mass shooting left 10 dead at its Boulder, Colorado location. The fund supports the needs of victims, families, survivors, and community members affected by the tragedy.
“The entire King Soopers family continues to mourn the loss of those who were victims of this senseless act of violence,” said Steve Burnham, president of King Soopers/City Market, in a statement. “We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from our fellow Coloradans, and we thank everyone for their incredible kindness.”
In addition, King Soopers customers can support CHF by rounding up their purchase to the nearest dollar amount or donating at checkout, as well as directly giving via CHF’s website or texting BoulderStrong to 243725.
“During this unprecedented time, our most urgent priority is to provide a safe environment for associates and customers, and we will continue to make decisions that best support their needs,” Burnham continued. “The Boulder King Soopers store will remain closed until the police investigation is complete. We are committed to helping the community grieve and heal from this tragic event.”
