The Giant Company recently announced the return of its "Feeding School Kids" initiative. Now through Monday, Feb. 28, customers at Giant, Martin's and Giant Heirloom Market stores are invited to round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or convert their Choice points into a donation for their local public schools' food programs.

Giant launched the initiative last year to address the issue of childhood hunger throughout local public school districts in the communities it serves. Together with its customers, the company raised more than $3.3 million in 2021.

This year, the Giant Company will donate $250,000 to the program. Through the "Feeding School Kids" initiative, school districts have been able to use the funds to support meal programs such as covering outstanding student meal debt, expanding food distribution programs, creating on-campus food pantries and supplying extra weekend meals.

For example, the School District of Lancaster scaled up its community garden initiative by implementing additional programming and providing fresh produce for more students and families.
