Giant to Collect Donations for Victims of Recent Natural Disasters

In light of the recent natural disasters that have taken their toll on local communities throughout the operating areas of Giant Food Stores and Martin's Food Markets, the grocery companies announced that they will collect donations in all stores on behalf of the American Red Cross to aid in the relief efforts.

Beginning Saturday, Sept. 17, and continuing through Monday, Sept. 26, customers can make a donation at any or Martin's checkout.

“Thousands of customers in communities throughout our operating area were hit hard by recent heavy weather,” said Rick Herring, division president. “All of the monies collected will be donated to local American Red Cross chapters to assist families who continue to struggle with basic necessities and cleanup efforts as a result of Hurricane Irene and recent flooding.”
