Community Support

Dion’s is committed to positively impacting the communities we serve and strives to be a trusted partner to foster youth development.

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.

Grant applications are now open!

Applications are due by June 30, 2023 to be considered for a grant during our 2024 fiscal year. To apply, please download and submit the completed application to Jessica Trumble at jtrumble@dions.com. You will receive an update on the status of your application via email once the cycle closes and final decisions have been made, generally around September.
