More than 100 good jobs with benefits are coming to Sacramento for those interested in food, groceries, and produce. Finally, Fresh & Easy is opening stores in Sacramento in the next few weeks. These stores will make fresh food more accessible and grocery shopping easier, especially if you're looking for produce in your neighborhoods.
For each new store opening, Fresh & Easy invites neighbors to nominate a local, non-profit organization to receive a $1,000 donation. Charities can be nominated at the Fresh and Easy.com Nominate Group site.
