Community Involvement

Powell’s Supermarket is very community driven and a big supporter of local events and charitable organizations;

You don’t make it to more than 70 years in business without being an instrumental part of the communities you serve. Besides being a significant employer, Powell’s Supermarket  and the entire Powell Group of Companies continues to be a company that is committed to engaging with its customers and supporting local groups, individuals, charities, businesses, and more. One such charity is Make-A Wish Newfoundland and Labrador. Powell’s Supermarket has proudly raised $10,000 annually in order to  grant the Wish of a local child through Make-A-Wish. These Wish experiences have an incredible impact those children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. It is an unforgettable experience for all those involved in granting a Wish, and we look forward to making dreams come true annually for a child in the Conception Bay North area. Thank you to our amazing staff, loyal customers and generous vendor partners for supporting us with this initiative. 

We love giving back and here's a sample of ways in which we do just that!
