Community Support

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Since the majority of our employees are under the age of 18, we understand the benefit of investing in youth to help them grow and flourish. To uphold this commitment, we seek to provide support to organizations that work to teach the following skills: literacy, leadership, communication, responsibility, and resourcefulness.

In-Kind

Dion’s frequently provides support to organizations in the form of food or gift cards. Please direct in-kind donation requests less than $100 to the General Manager of your local Dion’s. General Managers may deny or accept requests at their discretion. Larger requests may be directed to Jessica Trumble at jtrumble@dions.com.

Grants

On an annual basis, Dion’s awards grants to a select number of organizations whose focus is in the area of youth development. This enables these organizations to make a larger impact on the populations they serve, while enabling Dion’s to help make a difference.

The grant application process for our 2025 fiscal year has closed. Dion’s is currently reviewing submissions and is no longer accepting any new grant requests. Recipients will be announced in the fall. If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Trumble at jtrumble@dions.com.
