Press Release:
Starting Wednesday, Wegmans Food Markets will kick off its companywide Check Out Hunger scan campaign to raise money for the company’s 48 Feeding America food bank partners. According to Feeding America, more than 47 million people in the United States face hunger, including 1 in 5 children. The annual Check Out Hunger campaign raises critical funds for local food banks who provide year-round assistance to food-insecure families.
From October 23 to November 30, customers can donate $2, $3, $5, or any amount at checkout, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to each store’s local food bank. In response to Hurricane Helene, Wegmans’ four North Carolina stores launched their campaign early on October 1 to raise money for local food banks assisting with disaster relief efforts. All donations made at Wegmans’ North Carolina stores will continue to go directly to the shared Feeding the Carolinas fund for local food banks.
“With the holidays approaching, many shoppers are thinking about how they can give back to others that may struggle to provide their families with healthy meals this season,” said Linda Lovejoy, Wegmans community relations manager. “This campaign will help our local food bank partners to support families with children during the extended holiday break this year, and will also help to fight hunger all year long.”
