​Giant Food Company Donates More Than $10K To Council Rock

NEWTOWN, PA —The Council Rock School District has received a donation of $10,632 from the Giant Food Companies to help students and families in need.

The money was raised through the company's "Feeding School Kids Rounding Up" initiative in which grocery store customers have the option of “rounding up” their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or converting their earnings points into a donation to support public school district food programs.

This is the third year that Giant has donated to Council Rock through the program.

Council Rock administrators, including Superintendent Dr. Andy Sanko and Business Administrator Anthony Rapp, join Giant Foods representative John Stellato and several Council Rock students at the Chancellor Center.

Through the "Feeding School Kids" initiative, Council Rock has been able to support meal programs and address food insecurity from supplying backpacks with weekend food to clearing outstanding student lunch debt to building on-campus food pantries.

For the last three years, the Giant Company’s "Feeding School Kids" initiative has supported public school districts in addressing childhood hunger in the communities it serves.

To date, The Giant Company and its customers have donated more than $6.1 million through the Feeding School Kids Round-Up Program. Giant is an American regional supermarket chain that operates in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia under the Giant and Martin's brands.
