The US Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 34 million people are food insecure, nine million of which are children. Tops Friendly Markets is once again hosting its annual Food for Families Campaign, now in its 16th year, with a goal to provide more than two million meals for neighbors in need. The campaign runs through December 24, 2022.
Tops Food for Families campaign is synonymous with The Little Brown Bag of Hope. Customers can purchase a Little Brown Bag of Hope paper icon at the register anytime they shop. At the register, customers will be asked if they want to support the campaign by buying a $5, $10, and/or $20 bag for someone in need in our community or to round up their change. Little Brown Bags which are filled with nutritious items that will help families extend their meal planning, can also be purchased at any self-scan register.
Virtual Little Brown Bags of Hope will also be available for purchase online by visiting https://www.neighborshelpinngneighbors.com. Here customers can select what food bank they wish their donation to benefit.
Julia Tedesco, President & CEO of Foodlink, said: “The food collected and funds raised go directly toward supporting our mission of ending hunger and building healthier communities. We can’t thank Tops shoppers enough for their continued generosity during the holiday season.”
