Giant Food "Rounds Up" to Eliminate Food Insecurity.
From June 3 and through July 28, 2022, shoppers at Giant Food will be invited to “ROUND UP” their grocery purchase - the donated "round up" amount will be designated for Educate Fairfax to support programs in the school district that address food insecurity.
As we prepare for the 2022-2023 school year, please spread the word to ensure this program is a great success! From backpacks with weekend food, to clearing delinquent lunch accounts, building a community pantry in a school, or a school garden for fresh food for students, funds will be provided directly to support food access for those who need it most.
Educate Fairfax looks forward to partnering with Giant Food in the fight against childhood hunger.
