At The GIANT Company, local isn’t just a campaign or product classification. It’s about recognizing the incredible men and women bringing amazing products to our aisles and the families we serve. It’s about growing local economies and communities through job creation. It’s about supporting entrepreneurship and innovation from the farm and factory to the table. It’s about partnership and making a difference. Check out the stunning hashtag#local produce displays our teams have created and learn more about how we’re supporting local growers, bakers, brewers, and makers year-round at https://lnkd.in/eAgjuNxz.

When kids have access to school supplies, they’re more prepared, confident, and excited to take on the school year! ✏📓🎒 To help set students up for success this school year, The GIANT Company donated 200 backpacks to 50 organizations, along with $1,000 in GIANT and MARTIN’S gift cards to fill the bags with products that best serve their communities. That’s backpacks and school supplies for 10,000 students in need! On top of that, Unilever donated deodorant for each bag to ensure kids start school confidently. Additionally, our Caring Advocates Resource Exchange (CARE) business resource group just wrapped up a company-wide Stuff-a-Bus drive to donate school supplies to local school districts. Thank you to our team members and partner organizations who stuffed and distributed backpacks and donated supplies to help start the school year off a little brighter for thousands of students!

Last Thursday was National Intern Day! 🎉 To celebrate, we hosted our interns for a lunch & learn with our leadership team. Great food and conversation - the perfect way to thank them for choosing to spend their summer with The GIANT Company! Later in the day, the interns headed to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, where they packed 400 meal boxes for seniors in under two hours. Our summer 2024 interns have been crushing it, and we can't wait for what's next: project presentations and graduation!

Last week, in partnership with Geisinger and Central Susquehanna Opportunities, Inc. (CSO), we unveiled a new mobile food pantry ready to serve individuals and families facing food insecurity in Pennsylvania's Central Susquehanna Valley. “Food insecurity impacts every neighborhood and can have serious implications for individuals and communities. That’s why we work with local hunger relief partners and support initiatives such as this new mobile food pantry to help eliminate hunger in the communities we serve,” said Nick Koch, head of wellbeing, The GIANT Company. “This innovative solution brings fresh, healthy food directly to families that need it the most but may lack the transportation necessary to visit a traditional pantry.” The mobile pantry will provide fresh produce, dairy, meat, and shelf-stable pantry items. In its first two distributions in late June, the mobile pantry helped 175 individuals. For more information or to view the schedule for the mobile food pantry, visit www.csocares.org.
Bring Your Child to Work Day at The GIANT Company Support Office was entertaining, to say the least. As part of the kids' full day of fun activities, we asked them on camera what their parent does at GIANT. Check out a few of their responses. 😂
