Woodland, Calif. – Nugget Markets supports the UC Davis MIND Institute during National Autism Awareness Month in April with a matching fund drive at all Nugget stores.

It is estimated that 1 out of 110 children born in the United States today will have autism.
“During Autism Awareness Month, we’re partnering with our guests to make a real impact and support the MIND Institute’s vital autism research,” says Eric Stille, CEO of Nugget Markets, Inc. “We thank our guests and the community in advance for their consideration and generosity.”
