Heart of the Community Foundation

Our charity, Heart of the Community Foundation is dedicated to changing and improving lives through providing fund & contributing to our local community and charity groups.

For many years now, Jones & Co Grocer have been involved with charities, community events & initiatives. We have participated, sponsored and assisted our local community wherever and whenever possible. The Heart of the Community Foundation has been a part of several succesful initiatives to date including: 

IGA Community Chest

Through IGA Community Chest and associated programs, we've raised well over $86m to help local communities.

Everyday across the country, IGA Community Chest raises funds to support local communities, charities and other worthwhile causes. It could be in response to a major event like floods or bush fires, or something as simple as new soccer balls for the local kids.

The money is raised in a number of ways but predominately through the purchase of products with an IGA Community Chest logo on the label or ticket.

When you purchase a product with the IGA Community Chest logo printed on the label, a percentage is credited to that store's IGA Community Chest account.
