In honor of its 100th anniversary celebrations and the start of a new school year, the Giant Company will donate 10,000 bags filled with food, hygiene products and school supplies to help youngsters start the school year with confidence. Giant and Martin's team members will partner with 36 local organizations to pack and distribute bags, providing children with weekend meals and supplies.

Each bag will include nonperishable food items such as cereal, trail mix, macaroni and cheese, granola bars and applesauce; school supplies, including notebooks, pencils, crayons and glue sticks; and personal hygiene items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, laundry detergent and deodorant.

The Giant Company's donation is part of its 100th anniversary celebration efforts, which honor team members, customers and the communities the company serves. Building on its century-long commitment to grow strong, healthy communities, the company has made philanthropy a cornerstone of its anniversary celebration.
