HONOLULU – Safeway Hawai today presented a donation of $109,773.55 to the Hawaii Foodbank as a result of Safeway’s “Help Us End Hunger” holiday food drive and Hawaii Foodbank’s “Check-Out Hunger” fundraising campaign. Thanks to Safeway customers, 7,213 bags of groceries were sold at check out stands and donated to those in need this past holiday season.

The specially packed grocery bags provided customers with an easy way to make a donation while ensuring that food bank recipients received the items they needed most. The bags, priced at $10 each, contained Safeway and Kraft products.

“Safeway is committed to fighting hunger in the Islands and supporting our local food banks,” said George Glukfeld, Safeway Hawaii district manager. “Our customers’ and employees’ contributions make a real difference in providing those in need with quality, nutritional food.”
