Community Giving

giving back, together

With a goal of cultivating healthy, thriving communities, we support community organizations large and small, focusing our efforts on key areas where we can have the greatest impact: hunger relief, health, education and economic mobility, youth support, and community and collaboration.

Making a difference in every community we serve is part of who we are.

When you shop with us, you’re also helping feed families in need in your community. Together, thanks to your continued support and in-store donations, we’re proud to help provide more than 30 million meals to our neighbors—every year. Thank you for helping us feed it forward.

Our daily food donations are an important part of feeding it forward in our communities. In 2024, we donated more than 36.6 million pounds of food—that’s more than 30 million meals.

Food banks rely on financial donations to make the biggest impact. With just $5, a food bank can provide up to 50 meals by working with partners who help stretch every dollar further. (Source: Feeding America)

An estimated 47.4 million Americans experienced food insecurity in 2023. Together, we can help reduce that number.

Education & Economic Mobility

We believe the best way to promote economic advancement is by helping people access quality education, stable housing, and comprehensive job and career training, all of which provide a foundation for long-term financial growth and opportunity.
