Through the GIANT Company's Feeding School Kids initiative, Mineral County Schools today announced it has received $3,385 to expand its school food programs. The funding will be used for our backpack programs.
From January 1 through March 31, customers at GIANT, MARTINS, and GIANT Heirloom Market stores were invited to round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or convert their CHOICE points into a donation to support their local public schools districts' food programs. Through the GIANT Company's Feeding School Kids initiative, more than $7.5 million dollars were raised this year to support meal programs and food insecurity.
