Donate to the GAF while you shop at no additional cost
GAF
The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to making Leisure World a better place to live.
The GAF must fund raise throughout the year to continue providing services to the community. There are now two simple ways for LWers to donate to the GAF without any additional cost.
Stay-at-home orders have been in place since March 2020 and has made cooking at home a way of life, causing some to go grocery shopping more than ever before. Shareholders can now donate to the GAF during their weekly grocery shopping trip without having to spend more money, thanks to the Ralphs Rewards Program.
Ralphs announced that it is committed to giving over $2 million through its Community Contributions program. By simply signing up and doing your regular grocery shopping, you can help GAF receive a portion of those funds.
Those interested can sign up for the Ralphs Rewards program by phone or through the Ralphs website. To sign up online, go to www.ralphs.com. You will need your Ralphs Reward card number or the phone number associated with the account to sign up.
To register over the phone, call (800) 443-4438. Make sure to say GAF’s non-profit organization (NPO) number, FS 519, during registration. •••• Another way LWers can help GAF while they shop is through www.smile.amazon.com. Amazon Smile is a unique, charitable award program funded through Amazon for qualified non-profit organizations like the GAF. Every time you buy something from Amazon, a small percentage of your purchase will go to the GAF at no additional cost.
