Fred Meyer customers and employees donated $10,260.63 to Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center’s cancer services as part of their quarterly giving campaign.

The money will be used to offer free mammograms, and to purchase cancer education materials and equipment to better serve patients. Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center’s cancer programs serve more than 3,600 people annually.

The money was raised through change dropped into coin boxes at checkstands in all seven Fred Meyer stores throughout Clark County during the fall of 2010.

In addition, Fred Meyer employees in Clark County chose to combine their donations to the Fred Meyer Fund – Fred Meyer’s corporate foundation – with the coin box donations.

Clark Public Utilities was recognized at the J.D. Power and Associates Customer Service Roundtable as a J.D. Power 2011 Customer Service Champion – one of only 40 companies to have earned this distinction this year.

To identify the J.D. Power 2011 Customer Service Champions, J.D. Power evaluated more than 800 brands. Companies were identified based on customer feedback, opinions, and perceptions gathered primarily from J.D. Power’s syndicated research.
