One large grocery chain is ing forces with historically black colleges and universities in honor of Black History Month.

This year, they are celebrating 40 years of service and want you to know you can help them out.
“We’re looking for interns. Always, we’re going to be looking for funds because there are so many needs that occur within the community that we don’t necessarily have grant funds to cover. And so having events like this or having donors is important,” said Executive Director Candice Hillman.
Organizers say they are looking for volunteers as well.
