[Read the original](https://www.franchising.com/news/20221130_save_a_lot_stores_to_do_a_lot_of_good_this_holiday_season.html).* ## Story Now through December 24, customers can purchase pre-assembled bags of food for $6* as they’re checking out at the register at any of Save A Lot’s 656 participating stores nationwide. Each bag is stocked with private label and brand name food items, including pasta, stuffing mix, canned beans and other pantry staples from Save A Lot. As the Bags for a Brighter Holiday program enters its seventh year, Save A Lot will also leverage the campaign to again support No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America. In addition to donating bags of food to local charities, the company will provide a matching $6 donation for every bag purchased on Giving Tuesday (Nov. 29) to No Kid Hungry. Given that $1 invested can help provide 10 meals** for children, Save A Lot encourages all shoppers to help make an impactful difference for youth across the country. Millions of children in the United States face hunger every day– as many as one in eight kids this year. No Kid Hungry has a plan to help make sure those children get the healthy meals they need to thrive. Through a combination of emergency grants, strategic assistance, advocacy and awareness, No Kid Hungry is helping kids, families and communities get the resources they need. “With inflation continuing at record pace, many families are still struggling to put food on the table. But it’s inspiring to see how communities are rallying together to help address food insecurity - especially this holiday season,” said Tim Schroder, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Save A Lot. “Our Bags for a Brighter Holiday program gives Save A Lot shoppers a direct way to help us do a lot of good. Their donations aid neighbors directly and kids everywhere through our efforts to support No Kid Hungry on Giving Tuesday.” “Every kid needs three meals a day to grow up healthy, happy and strong, yet millions are still missing those meals,” said Diana Hovey, Senior Vice President at Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. “Save A Lot’s support on Giving Tuesday comes at a pivotal moment for ensuring kids have access to the right foods they need to grow, and we couldn’t be more honored to collaborate with the brand and its shoppers to help end childhood hunger across America.” Save A Lot stores, 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.
