Giant Food Stores associates volunteered alongside staff of Second Harvest Food Bank to celebrate a successful Bag Hunger Campaign and presented a check for $24,755 to the food bank.

The Bag Hunger Campaign ran from Aug. 25 through Sept. 7 across all Giant And Martin’s stores with a grand total of $780,676 collected. Giant and Martin’s customers donate to their local food bank during checkout through the in-store campaign.

Funds collected go to more than 100 pantries across the areas served by Giant and Martin’s.

The Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania distributes food and grocery products to 60,000 people in need each month through a network of more than 200 nonprofit member agencies in Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton, Pike and Wayne counties.

The nonprofit network includes emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and child-care and rehabilitation centers.
