November 17, 2009 (San Diego)--The season of giving is under way as Henry's Farmers Markets launch their annual Grab 'n' Give holiday food drive, which runs until January 4, 2010.
Shoppers will find pre-packaged Grab 'n' Give grocery bags priced at a 10% discount near checkout stands. Grab 'n' Give bags include food items such as canned tuna, soup, vegetables and beans, rice, canned fruit, cereal and non-perishable snacks. After paying, customers can drop off bags at donation bins near the exits. In addition, shoppers can choose to donate towards purchase of full turkeys to be presented to families in need for holiday meals. Upon checkout, customers can donate $5, $10, or $20 which goes towards purchasing turkeys at a 10% discount to be given to people in need.
This year Henry's Farmers Markets hopes to top their 2008 donation amount of 7,000 pounds of food donations.
"This is one of our favorite times of year," said Henry's marketing manager, Aimee Della Bitta. "It's heartwarming to see how generous the community is when it comes to providing meals for their neighbors in need, especially in these difficult economic times when there are so many people that need support.”
Shoppers can participate in the drive at 32 Henry's Farmers Market locations, including all San Diego County locations as well as Woodland Hills, Monrovia, Burbank and Riverside County stores.
