Save A Lot To Distribute 3,700 Bags Of Groceries Friday

TAMPA, FL — Thanks to the generosity of its customers shown through Save A Lot’s Bags for a Brighter Holiday program, the grocery chain is partnering with Santa Claus to make special deliveries of more than 3,700 bags of much-needed, high-quality food to local charities fighting hunger.

This partnership is especially meaningful this year given that hunger has increased dramatically over recent months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Throughout the holiday season, Save A Lot customers across Tampa showed their support for their community by purchasing pre-assembled bags of food that will be donated to local charities, including St. Marks. Each bag is stocked with private-label and brand-name food items, including pasta, stuffing mix, canned beans, meats and other pantry staples from Save A Lot. A total of 825 Save A Lot stores participated in the food donation program nationwide.

Santa Claus will be on hand donating bags of the pre-assembled food on Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Save A Lot store at 2271 E. Bearss Ave. The food will be distributed to St. Mark's Episcopal Church.

Save a Lot’s Bags for a Brighter Holiday program runs through Dec. 31. For more information, click here.
