Since 2013, Curtis “Grandyman” Granderson’s GRAND GIVING food insecurity awareness campaign and fundraiser, in partnership with Mariano’s, has raised more than $1.4M for families in the Chicagoland area. Throughout the month of November, donations made at the register or at the self-checkout at all Mariano’s stores will go directly to the Greater Chicago Food Depository and Northern Illinois Food Bank.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve expanded Grand Giving into Wisconsin—adding Pick ‘n Save and Metro Market stores into the mix. Donations made at these stores will benefit our neighbors to the north through Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin. 

 
 

You can make A difference

1 in 5 Chicago households experience food insecurity, which is a set of circumstances
that prevents access to food.


Many kids start their morning without breakfast, end their day without dinner and struggle through summer breaks without access to healthy food.

Join us in the fight against hunger and food insecurity by making a donation today!
