Tops Friendly Markets is once again hosting its annual Food for Families Campaign, now in its 17th year, with a goal to provide more than two million meals for neighbors in need. The campaign runs now through December 24, 2023.
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 as well.
Virtual Little Brown Bags of Hope will also be available for purchase online by visiting https://
topsneighborshelpingneighbors.com so no matter what the weather, a donation can be made right from their phone, tablet, or desktop. Here customers can select what food bank they wish their donation to benefit.
While donations can be made throughout the campaign until December 24, many locals love the tradition of bringing or purchasing their donation at the store on the day Tops hosts its one-day food drive. Local media sponsors as well as Foodlink food bank staff and volunteers will be at two Tops locations – 1215 Jefferson Road, Henrietta, and 3507 Mt. Read Boulevard, Greece – on Friday, December 8 to accept donations.
a“Foodlink is looking forward to partnering with Tops and News 8 once again for our annual Food for Families event,” said Julia Tedesco, President & CEO of Foodlink. “The food and funds collected annually are critical for our food-banking operations during the winter months, and we are incredibly grateful for all of the customers who step up to support their neighbors throughout the campaign.”
