Wegmans Shoppers In Woodbridge Helped Raise $3.1M For Hunger Relief

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Wegmans customers raised nearly $3.1 million for hunger relief as part of the fall 2025 Check Out Hunger scanning campaign, according to a company release.

“This year, the Check Out Hunger campaign proved especially vital, arriving at a critical moment when our food bank partners faced a surge in demand caused by the government shutdown and suspension of SNAP benefits,” said Deana Percassi, Wegmans vice president of community engagement and communications. “We are deeply grateful to our customers and employees, who donated so generously for their neighbors in need during this campaign.”

From Oct. 22 to Nov. 29, customers at Wegmans' 114 stores, including the one at 14801 Dining Way in Woodbridge, were able to donate any amount at the checkout with 100 percent of the proceeds going to each store's local Feeding America food bank partner.

In Virginia, 11 community food banks received a combined $313,675 in donations from Check Out Hunger in 2025. Serving the greater Prince William County area, both ACTS and SERVE received $34,654 and $23,172, respectively, as a result of the campaign.
