From now until March 15, shoppers who visit the GIANT location on Susquehanna Road in Roslyn will have the opportunity to “round up” at the register and donate funds to support the Feeding School Kids initiative. Customers also can give back by converting their "CHOICE Rewards Points" to donations in the GIANT app, or by purchasing a reusable bag.
Donations that are collected throughout March will be donated to Abington School District. Donations have been used by the Student Services Department to purchase GIANT gift cards that are distributed by school social workers directly to families in need in order to help supplement the cost of their groceries.
“School food programs are crucial when it comes to fighting student hunger by helping to ensure children have regular access to nutritious food during school, on weekends and during school breaks,” Courtney Hopcraft, manager of community relations and charitable giving, The GIANT Company said. “To date, The GIANT Company and our customers have donated more than $7.6 million through this initiative. Continuing this program for a fifth year will allow local schools to earn more needed funds to address food insecurity and nourish school children in need.”
The initiative was launched in 2021 to address the need of childhood hunger in areas where Giant stores operate.
