Project Unity and the ‘Together We Can’ initiative is working to help communities live in unity, dismantle racism, and unite for change.

Founded by Pastor Richie Butler, Project Unity’s mission includes dialogue and community- building events, education, and empowerment with the theme Together We Can. Mark Vela, Director of Front-End Operations and Diversity and Inclusion Board Chair for Albertsons Companies Southern Division, said, “This is an important partnership for Tom Thumb. We are committed to our long- time policy of courtesy, dignity, and respect for everyone who shops and works in our stores and this partnership represents another important step toward unity in our shared communities.”
