Local Save Mart and FoodMaxx Locations Fight Hunger

Hunger is still a problem in our communities, with an average of one in seven residents in Northern Nevada being “food insecure,” which means they don’t know where their next meal will come from. The statistic is far worse for children: one in four. To help boost donations to local food banks during the holiday season, Save Mart and FoodMaxx stores will once again hold the annual Holiday “Give. Share. CARE!” Drive, making it easier for shoppers to donate. At check-out, customers can tear off a coupon and hand it to the cashier. $2 feeds one person breakfast, $3 feeds one person lunch, and $5 feeds one person dinner 100% of all donations go to the local food bank assigned to each store. Last year, the Holiday Giving campaign brought in more than $326,000 for about 30 food banks throughout Northern Nevada and California.
