Wegmans Food Markets has launched its annual Fill the Bus/Fill the Backpack campaign to support local food banks and help feed children during school breaks.
Beginning June 4th, customers can donate $3, $5, or any amount at checkout.
All proceeds go directly to each store’s local Feeding America food bank to support summer, weekend, and school break feeding programs.
“With federal funding cuts, food banks are struggling to meet demand,” said Linda Lovejoy, Wegmans Community Relations Manager. “Even small donations can make a big difference.”
In 2024, Wegmans customers helped raise over $3.2 million and donated more than 36.6 million pounds of food.
This year’s campaign comes at a crucial time as more families face economic hardships while school-based meal programs pause for the summer.
