Wegmans Food Markets has kicked 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.
Through Nov. 30, customers can donate $2, $3, $5 or any other amount at checkout, with 100% of the proceeds going to each store’s local food bank.
Wegmans has a long history of supporting local food banks through daily food donations and annual scan campaigns. In 2023, Wegmans donated more than 32 million pounds of food, and its customers raised more than $3.1 million through its annual scan campaigns.
