Save A Lot has shared results of its first donation campaign with Meals on Wheels America, held in honor of National Grandparents Day.
Over the two-week campaign, shoppers across 130 Save A Lot stores donated $14,916 to support local Meals on Wheels providers that deliver services to seniors experiencing hunger and isolation. Save A Lot matched the donations, bringing the total contribution to $30,000.
“We’re thrilled to donate to the community and support Meals on Wheel’s mission to help seniors in need,” said Jerome Bouyer, VP of retail operations at Save A Lot. “The response from our customers and store teams has been incredible, and together we’re proud to make a meaningful impact.”
The top fundraising stores include:
- Shelby, Ohio;
- Crystal River, Florida;
- Ashland, Ohio;
- Kenton, Ohio; and
- Port Richey, Florida.
“We’re honored to be the beneficiary of this giving campaign and deeply grateful for the generosity of Save A Lot and its customers,” said Len Walder, senior director of corporate partnerships at Meals on Wheels America.
“The funds and awareness raised through this initiative will help strengthen local senior nutrition programs nationwide, helping ensure homebound seniors receive nutritious meals and moments of human connection.”
The donation will help Meals on Wheels providers deliver meals, friendly visits and safety checks to seniors facing hunger and isolation. Many older adults struggle with mobility, transportation and limited budgets, making it difficult to access the food and care they need to stay healthy and independent.
