The annual Check Out Hunger campaign is currently underway in all Tops Friendly Markets stores and will run through Saturday, February 4.
The US Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 34 million people are food insecure, nine million of which are children. Since 2006, the Check Out Hunger campaign has helped raise over $5,140,377 for participating food banks.
During the campaign, those shopping at Tops can tell their cashier they would like to help Check Out Hunger and a make a donation of $2, $3, or $5 to help provide food for a local food bank like Foodlink of Rochester.
“Eradicating hunger and assisting our fellow neighbors in need is part of Tops core mission so supporting this effort on an annual basis is something that we gladly stand behind,” said Kristen Hanson, Vice President of Center Store, Our Brands & Pharmacy and FeedMore WNY board member.
