OUR MISSION
At Tony’s Charitable Foundation, our team works with other local partners to find cures to childhood diseases. Through this mission, our foundation hopes to provide care for the children of Chicagoland area.
As a way to give back to the local community, Tony’s Charitable Foundation has given support to the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago and Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation in Chicago, Illinois. We assist these groups and many other local families through a variety of events. It’s always been at the center of Tony’s Fresh Market to give back and we are extremely grateful to be given the opportunity to work with these local groups.
But, we are always looking to partner with new and local groups. Please feel free to Contact Us.
OUR HISTORY
Tony’s Fresh Market (“Tony’s) is a family-owned and operated grocery-chain in the Chicagoland area. Tony’s was founded in 1979 by Tony Ingraffia and Domenico Gambino, two Italian Immigrants with big dreams and an unprecedented work ethic. Now, after 40 years of hard work and dedication, Tony’s Fresh Market has 19 Locations throughout the Chicagoland area. Our stores feature fresh produce, excellent deli departments, unique bakery, and a large international selection of products.
Tony’s Fresh Market has always been deeply rooted in the local community. Over the past 40 years, we like to think that each and every vendor, employee, and customer that walks through our doors becomes a part of the Tony’s family. It’s the Tony’s way. And through our community-centered business, we hope to expand the many ways that Tony’s Fresh Market gives back. First and foremost, Tony’s charity is meant to serve the families and children of the Chicagoland area. By starting our new Tony’s foundation, we hope to assist those in our community and welcome them to the Tony’s family.
