Charitable Foundation Updates

For the Week of February 16, 2025

The New “Feed for Free” Program
In addition to donating millions of meals annually, our Charitable Foundation is launching a “Feed for Free” program in all Rhode Island stores. Beginning on Monday, February 17, 2025, customers can buy $10 or more worth of food from the designated display location in the store, receive a Crazy Deal Gift Card for the same amount, and then give the food back to us to donate to an area food pantry. It’s a win-win for everyone!
