CARLISLE, Pa – This month, The GIANT Company, known locally as GIANT and MARTIN’S, will donate $200,000 in turkey, gift card, and monetary donations to 39 food banks and community partners across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia in support of hunger relief initiatives.
“The GIANT Company is assisting our community partners in a variety of ways this Thanksgiving season,” said Courtney Hopcraft, community relations manager, The GIANT Company. “From providing turkeys to regional food banks, to helping local pantries and organizations supplement holiday needs with gift cards or donations to enhance food insecurity initiatives, this year’s donations are supporting a variety of hunger relief efforts in the communities we serve through Thanksgiving and beyond.”
Throughout November, GIANT and MARTIN’S team members are also volunteering at several regional food banks to help organize and restock pantry shelves ahead of the busy holiday season.
"The GIANT Company is a partner we count on all year, and their support during the holidays is something our neighbors feel directly. This donation is a meaningful one - and we're honored to work alongside a company that cares this deeply about the community we share,” said Jay Worrall, president, Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank.
In addition, GIANT and MARTIN’S customers can choose to support neighbors in need this Thanksgiving. They can donate their free turkey certificates at the register in-store to a local food bank from Nov. 6 through Nov. 26.
