EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: GO) (“Grocery Outlet”) today announced the launch of its 15th consecutive Independence from Hunger\u00ae (IFH) Food Drive to combat food insecurity. From June 25 to July 31, the campaign will collect in-store and online donations as well as pre-made bags of nonperishable foods at Grocery Outlet\u2019s 540+ locations across the country. Donations benefit local food agencies chosen by Grocery Outlet\u2019s independent operators (IOs).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to announce our fifteenth annual Independence from Hunger campaign,\u201d said Jason Potter, Grocery Outlet Chief Executive Officer. \u201cWe look forward to continuing Grocery Outlet\u2019s storied tradition of giving back to the local communities in which we operate, working towards our goal of being one of the country’s most-loved brands, and building trust, consistency and excitement among our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the USDA\u2019s most recent food security survey 13.5%, or 18 million, U.S. households face food insecurity, and more than 6 million of those households have children. Summer months present additional challenges. Without nutrition coming from schools, Move for Hunger estimates that 22 million children experience summer hunger every year.<\/p>\n

For nearly 80 years, Grocery Outlet has been committed to giving back to local community organizations and Independence from Hunger is an integral part of that commitment. Since its launch in 2011, the IFH campaign efforts have collected more than $25 million nationwide.<\/p>\n
