We are giving away $1,000 every month this year! Plus, local businesses like Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet are giving away weekly prizes!

This week’s winner of a $30 Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet gift card is Geoff Pasley, resident of Redlands.

“I'm thrilled to win this sweepstakes,” Pasley said. “I'm notoriously unlucky, so maybe 2021 will be my year!”

Now you have the chance to win too! Visit us online and search for the bag of money on our local business advertisements, click on each ad, enter your contact information and win! No purchase necessary. You may enter every day on every ad with the bag of money icon to increase your chances of winning. We will announce the winner for the month of May on June 1st.

Pasley first heard about the Click-N-Win Sweepstakes by reading about it in the newspaper in a local restaurant in Redlands. With the ability to enter every day, the chances of winning are great!

At no purchase necessary, Pasley won an amazing $30 gift card to help cover the cost of groceries. Pasley is a computer programmer who has been able to work full time at home, but has also felt the harsh effects of the pandemic.

“COVID-19 had had a significant impact on my life, along with many other people,” Pasley said. “Last year my wife had to close her business permanently. I work from home full time instead of an office.”

However, like many living in the new reality of COVID-19, Pasley still finds the silver lining.

“The positive of working from home is that I get to spend more time with my wife and two kids,” Pasley said.

More and more businesses are now able to open their doors, allow their customers inside and once again thrive within their community. We are also starting to see an impact the COVID-19 vaccinations are having in our counties, now allowing us to come together as a community more and more.  

Our local businesses want to continue the positive momentum and give back to the people in their community who support their business and support #shoplocal

One of those businesses who are deciding to give back to their community is local favorite, Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet.

“Thank you for your loyalty and support, hopefully we can continue to partner with the community for years to come,” GT Grocery Outlet owners Eric and Priscilla Santillan said.

Since their opening, Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet made their motto "Touching Lives for the Better," a prominent goal to achieve during their first year of business and giving back to the community is something that they hope to continue to attain for many years to come.

Throughout the year of 2020, the owners of Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet participated in multiple food drives, giveaways and organized several fun seasonal donations.

In June and July, Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet participated in the “Independence from Hunger” food drive that helps fight hunger in the community and all donations stayed local.

In August, they donated school supplies to The Heart Matters Foster Agency for local students. The next month, the owners hand-delivered snack bags to the Music & Movies in the Park at Sunset at Blue Mountain in Grand Terrace.

In October, the Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet donated various food items to the Groceries of Love Food Pantry during a monthly food giveaway. The owners also hand-delivered and donated 24 pumpkins to the residents of the Grand Terrace Vista Blue Mountain Assisted Living and Memory Care Center for their annual decorating event. The owners of Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet also held their own pumpkin decorating contest for community members to participate in and gave away Big Mac pumpkins to the winners.

In November they partnered with Community in Unity and participated in the Thanksgiving Food Drive for the Groceries of Love Food Pantry. Then again in December, the Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet partnered with Community in Unity, along with other community organizations, and participated in a toy drive in which they became a drop-off location for residents to donate unwrapped toys

Moving into 2021, Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet and the owners continue to give back to the communities they serve and they look forward to all future partnerships with fellow businesses and community residents.

“We are happy to be part of the Grand Terrace community and be able to provide big savings on name-brand, high quality groceries,” the owners said.

“We appreciate the support that we have received from the community. We give back whenever we can, and we try every day to exceed customers’ expectations.”

Be sure to share what local businesses you would like to see participate! And please visit Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet and tell them how much you appreciate them participating.

A community should support each other and we hope this is a way to bring everyone together again. So keep on coming back because we are here to stay and our local businesses are here to stay!
