The Los Angeles Dodgers, L.A. Dodgers Foundation and Smart & Final partnered to surprise customers at the chain’s Watts location by purchasing their groceries. Smart & Final additionally provided customers with gift cards.
The charitable efforts were carried out Thursday morning during the store’s exclusive hour for vulnerable shoppers (seniors, expectant mothers, people with disabilities), health care workers and first responders.
“It’s more important than ever that we come together as a community to support and bring a bit of joy to one another,” Smart & Final director of corporate communications and charitable foundation Deb Bell-Versluis said in a statement.
