The 27th annual Check-Out Hunger campaign to support Harvesters is underway at more than 125 grocery stores throughout the region.

The holiday campaign is the largest annual fundraiser for Harvesters, which feeds the hungry through its network of more than 620 nonprofit agencies. 

The public can help this holiday season by scanning $1, $5, $10 or $20 Check-Out Hunger donation coupons for Harvesters and adding them to their grocery bills.

Donation coupons and Harvesters food donation barrels will be in stores through January 6, 2019.

For every dollar donated, Harvesters' network can provide three meals to hungry families, children and seniors in our community.

You can also donate online through the Check-Out Hunger Virtual Food Drive.
