"Giant has a long tradition of supporting the communities we're so privileged to serve and fighting hunger in those communities is our top charitable priority," said Jamie Miller, public and community relations manager for Giant Food of Landover, Md. "Working alongside food banks and nonprofit organizations, we have made a difference and helped to feed thousands in our region. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we're looking forward to launching additional programs and initiatives to help alleviate hunger."
