In ongoing efforts to fight hunger in the communities they serve, Safeway and Safeway Foundation Nourishing Neighbors have donated $455,024 to the Capital Area Food Bank and the Maryland Food Bank.

โ€œWe are gratified by the results of our 2021 Kick Hunger campaign, especially since our food banksโ€™ needs have dramatically increased during the last year,โ€ Jim Perkins, Safeway president, said in a statement. โ€œWe thank our customers and our partners for their generous support.โ€

In addition to The Washington Informer, Safeway Foundationโ€™s partners for Kick Hunger include the Washington Football Team, the Baltimore Ravens, WJLA-TV (Channel 7) in Washington, D.C., and WBAL-TV (Channel 11) in Baltimore.
