Save A Lot, one of the largest discount grocery chains in the United States, is launching its annual Bags for a Brighter Holiday food donation program. Now in its eleventh year, this initiative helps Save A Lot stores support the hometowns in which they operate by donating much-needed, high-quality food to local charities fighting hunger. Now through December 24, customers can purchase pre-assembled bags of food for $4.99* as they’re checking out at the register at any of Save A Lot’s 430 participating stores nationwide. Each bag is stocked with private label food items, including stuffing mix, canned vegetables, and other pantry staples from Save A Lot.

“Each year, Bags for a Brighter Holiday reflects the generosity and compassion of the communities we serve,” said Bill Mayo, Chief Executive Officer at Save A Lot. “It’s inspiring to see our customers and store teams come together to support local charities and help provide meals for families during the holiday season. We are proud to play a role in making a positive difference in our hometowns when it matters most.”

To encourage donations, Save A Lot is giving participating stores the opportunity to expand their local giving efforts, with a bonus gift card to be donated to the partner charity based on the number of bags sold:

  • 250 bags sold: $250 gift card

  • 500 bags sold: $500 gift card

  • 1,000 or more bags sold: $1,000 gift card

Save A Lot stores, many of which are locally owned and operated, are passionate about making a difference. From supporting local charities to sponsoring in-store fundraisers, product drives, and events for customers, locations are committed to doing A Lot of Good.
