Giant Eagle shoppers can purchase items or make a monetary donation to help feed the hundreds of thousands of seniors, children and families in southwestern Pennsylvania who are experiencing hunger and food insecurity. Each participating store has a specially marked bin to collect the donated items, and many stores will have weekend volunteers, including Girl Scouts, on hand to help. I'll be at the Water Works store on Oct 27!
