Grocery Outlet is launching it’s annual ‘Independence from Hunger’ food drive. This event bring attention to food insecurity in our local communities.
According to an analysis performed by the USDA, 15 million households have limited access to food sources and suffer from food insecurity (USDA, Household Food Security in the United States in 2017).
The risk of food insecurity increases during the summer months, as families can also lose access to school supported food programs, and food banks deal with limited supplies. During the month-long campaign in July, Grocery Outlet will collect cash donations in-store and sell sacks of food supplies that will be donated to Care Moses Lake in the form of store credit. Since 2017 Care Moses Lake has been supporting local non-profits and promoting giving back to our local community. Their focus this year is to feed local children in need by giving donations to the Boys & Girls Club, Kids Hope, Big Bend Community College’s Viking Food Pantry and more!
When you purchase a premade sack of supplies, or if you give $5 or more, you’ll get a $5 coupon to use at your next visit at Grocery Outlet. It’s a win, win!
Your contribution can also be used to purchase and donate additional food supplies for other local non-profits.
