Giant donates $100,000 to nine organizations, including two in Bucks

In celebration of Giving Tuesday, The Giant Company continued its holiday giving tradition by donating a total of $100,000 to nine community organizations throughout its footprint, including two in Bucks County.
“While making a difference and helping families gather around the table is part of The Giant Company’s purpose year-round, the holidays bring a renewed sense of giving and connecting with those in need throughout our communities,” said Jessica Groves, community impact manager, The Giant Company.
“This Giving Tuesday donation is our largest to date and reflects the important and unique work each of these nine organizations are doing in our communities to help eliminate hunger.”
On Giving Tuesday, The Giant Company donated to the following Bucks County organizations:
• Between Friends Outreach – headquartered in Doylestown, helping to support the agency in working with vulnerable community members. The organization opened its first food pantry in September, offering a large supply of items that are not available to purchase with government assistance;

• YMCA of Bucks County – helping families through a donation to YMCA’s Growing Healthier Communities initiative, which offers nutrition wellness programs, including cooking classes, outdoor classrooms to grow fruits, and vegetables, and healthy eating seminars and workshops;
Giant also donated to: Caring for Friends; Harrisburg University; Keystone Human Services in Harrisburg; Keystone Kidspace in York; Lancaster County Project for the Needy; The Miller Center in Lewisburg; and Project GROWS in Virginia.
To kick-off the season of holiday giving, The Giant Company donated 10,000 turkeys to 27 partner food banks throughout its local communities ahead of Thanksgiving.
Customers can join The Giant Company to make a difference this holiday season. In all stores, customers can round up their purchase at checkout to benefit their local food bank or pantry. Customers can also purchase reusable bags to benefit Feeding America.
