GOLDEN COUNTRY COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY



When Golden Country first opened in 1980, we made a strong commitment to support and empower the communities we serve and in which we have a business presence. We have continually followed this commitment by contributing substantial time and resources to charitable, philanthropic and worthy causes.



For Example

We have been awarded the Community Empowerment Award for working with a local social service agency in hiring and training newly arrived immigrants;

We have sponsored various community events in an effort to bring awareness of the Asian community to the community at large;

We have sponsored food related shows on public television in an effort to promote ethnic cuisines;

We have donated food and made charitable contributions to the underprivileged and to those in need;

We have underwritten events so that Asians in the area can find a sense of community with others from their homeland.
