Western Grocers Employee Benefits Trust is a non-profit health insurance trust established in 1979 to pool health coverage for grocers and related employers with a common industry link. Originating under a Federally approved 501(c)(9) plan, the trust brought together multiple food industry employers, initially serving Oregon and Washington, and has since expanded its geographic scope to Alaska and broadened eligibility to include hardware store participants. The organization operates within the insurance sector, focusing on administering a shared health benefits program for member employers and their employees, with governance and administration aligned to maintain sustainability and cost control for participants. Based in Portland, Oregon, the trust has a history of growth and collaboration, including a 2011 shift to Cypress Benefit Administrators to enhance capability while preserving a personal approach. A notable recent development includes a partnership with PacificSource Administrators, Inc. in response to the COVID-19 outbreak to support member needs.
