Giant Food Market recently presented a check for $5,000 to Warminster Food Bank to help the organization purchase food items, such as meats, fruits, vegetables and other necessities for its guests in need.
During the month of September, Giant will donate $400,000 to 24 partner food banks. In addition to the monetary donation, a group of Giant employees volunteered at the food bank on Sept. 18. Their work on that day focused on packing and delivering orders to clients in need.

“We are incredibly grateful to Giant of Warminster for this generous $5,000 donation and for the commitment its employees continue to show to our community,” said Mike Cerino, Executive Director, Warminster Food Bank. “Financial support like this helps us provide food to our neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity, but having Giant employees volunteering alongside our team makes their support even more meaningful. Their willingness to roll up their sleeves and help us serve local families is a wonderful example of what can happen when local businesses and community organizations work together.”
