The Cliff’s Local Market team led their second-annual Autism Awareness Campaign this October, raising $27,733 for The Kelberman Center, a local organization devoted to providing autism services for children, adults, and their families. Throughout the campaign, customers visiting any Cliff’s Local Market location were invited to donate through the purchase of paper puzzle pieces at the register.
