Answers to your most frequently asked questions.

Wherever you find a Pamida store, you’ll find an organization of people who believe that strong communities are built with the support of everyone who lives and works in them. Throughout the year, your local Pamida store will participate in promotions that are part of an organization-wide effort as well as those that are unique to your community.

Because every community’s needs are different, so are the ways Pamida Gives Back. In fact, since 2000, Pamida has given more than $6.8 million to local charitable organizations, representing more than 950 nonprofit groups. In that time, we’ve also assembled answers to some of the most common questions we’re asked about our giving. Please take a few minutes to review and if you still have questions, please feel free to contact us.

What are the primary areas of focus for the Pamida Foundation?

The Pamida Foundation focuses on three key areas: educating youth in our communities, helping families in need and enhancing the quality of life for senior citizens.
