Customers at Giant Food Stores and Martin’s Food Markets donated a record-breaking $794,037 to support local hunger relief efforts during the biannual “Bag Hunger” campaign.

The company’s signature campaign ran from Feb. 24 through March 9 across all Giant and Martin’s stores.

Since 2008, Giant’s Bag Hunger fundraising campaigns have raised more than $12.3 million.

“At Giant, we believe everyone belongs at the table and no one should go hungry. We thank our customers for their generosity but also for embracing our mission to fight hunger,” said John Ponnett, senior vice president of store operations, Giant Food Stores.

“The astounding results of this year’s Bag Hunger campaign shows that when we join hands with our customers, we really can change the world for the better.”
