The GIANT Company announced that ahead of Thanksgiving it will donate 15,000 turkeys to 24 food banks and community partners in the Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia communities it serves.
“At The GIANT Company, we are thankful for our local food bank and food pantry partners and their work to eliminate hunger all year long, especially around the holidays when a nourishing meal is central to celebrations,” said John Ruane, president, The GIANT Company. “Because of our meaningful partnerships with charitable food organizations and our generous suppliers, more than 125,000 servings of protein will be shared with families in need this Thanksgiving, creating moments to savor together.”
The GIANT Company team members will volunteer at food banks packing hunger relief boxes and organizing and restocking shelves in advance of the busy holiday season.
“We are incredibly grateful to The GIANT Company for their turkey donation and all their support throughout the year,” said Jennifer Brillhart, president and CEO, York County Food Bank. “During the holiday season, our goal is to provide our neighbors with essential food items so they can gather around the table and enjoy a meal together. This donation from The GIANT Company helps to ensure that families across York County will receive a holiday meal.”
Customers are also invited to join efforts to combat local food insecurity this November. From Nov. 15 through Nov. 28, customers can donate free turkey certificates at the register in-store to a local food bank. In addition, customers can purchase reusable bags to benefit regional food banks.
