Exhibit 10.77.1

AMENDMENT NO. 1

TO THE

UNIFIED GROCERS, INC.

SHELTERED SAVINGS PLAN

Unified Grocers, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby amends the above-named plan (the
“Plan”), effective as of March 17, 2011, as follows:

1. The definition of “Employee” in Section 1.2 of the Plan is hereby amended in
its entirety to read as follows:

“‘Employee’ shall mean every person classified by the Company as a common law
employee of the Company and any Affiliated Company that has adopted the Plan
with the permission of the Board of Directors. ‘Employee’ shall not include any
person who is (i) employed by or through a leasing, temporary, or similar agency
or company, (ii) classified by the Company as a leased employee of the Company
or any such Affiliated Company, (iii) classified by the Company as an intern, or
(iv) classified by the Company as an independent contractor or other status that
is not a common law employee. For this purpose, a ‘leased employee’ is a person
whose services are performed under the primary direction or control by the
Company or any Affiliated Company on a substantially full time basis for a
period of at least one year in accordance with Code Section 414(n)(2). If any
person described in the preceding two sentences is determined to be a common law
employee of the Company or any Affiliated Company by court decision or
otherwise, such person shall nonetheless continue to be treated as not being an
Employee.”

2. Section 6.9(b) of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

“(b) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, approve or deny a hardship
withdrawal request, but the Committee’s determination shall be made in
accordance with uniform and nondiscriminatory standards. The Committee shall
approve a hardship withdrawal only if the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy one
of the following immediate and heavy financial needs:

(i) Payments of medical expenses incurred by the Participant and the
Participant’s spouse, dependants, and Beneficiary, or payments necessary for
those persons to obtain medical care, that would be deductible under Code
Section 213(d) (determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed 7.5% of
adjusted gross income).

(ii) Payments (excluding mortgage payments) directly related to the purchase of
a principal residence for the Participant.

(iii) Payments of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses
for the next 12 months of post-secondary education for the Participant and the
Participant’s spouse, children, dependents, and Beneficiary.

(iv) Payments to prevent the Participant’s eviction from the Participant’s
principal residence.

(v) Payments to prevent a foreclosure on the Participant’s mortgage of the
Participant’s principal residence.

(vi) Payments for funeral or burial expenses for the Participant’s deceased
parent, spouse, child, dependent, or Beneficiary.

(vii) Expenses to repair damage to the Participant’s principal residence that
would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code Section 165 (determined
without regard to whether the loss exceeds 10% of adjusted gross income).

(viii) Such other expenses that the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service
deems to be an immediate and heavy financial need through the publication of
revenue rulings, notices, and other documents of general applicability.

The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may include any amount that
is necessary to pay federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties that are
reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. If a Participant has a
balance in his or her Voluntary Contribution Account that is subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 6.10, then such Participant must withdraw the
maximum allowed pursuant to Section 6.10 before a withdrawal can be made
pursuant to this Section 6.9.”
