Since January, owners and shoppers have donated $72,116 for hunger relief. These funds provide the shopping discount for our Food for All (FFA) ownership program. Neighbors in our community qualify for the FFA program if they have an active EBT card through programs such as SNAP (formerly food stamps)
An increasing number of Individuals and families who receive food assistance through these programs are at risk for food insecurity. In 2025, food insecurity among SNAP recipients rose from 36% to 46%, reflecting the combined stress of inflation and SNAP cuts.*
Your Round Up donations make the quality food you trust more accessible for individuals participating in our FFA program. 731 Food for All participants who shopped at our stores this quarter received $53,828.75 in shopping discounts, plus the 10% owner extras that all owners receive on sales items.
A new FFA participant shared their appreciation for the FFA program:
Many EBT recipients have physical disabilities due to health issues that require extra nutritional care. This makes access to Weaver Street’s high-quality food and supplements especially important.
Many of our community food partners have shared with us their urgent need for funding because of government grants that were cut or lost. Our Emergency Food Relief Fund was created to provide gift cards to our partners for emergency food needs. This quarter $4,083 in cash box donations go to A Place at the Table, TABLE, and Meals on Wheels Orange County, NC.
Our Round Up Community Food Grants is funded with the surplus Round Up funds donated above what is needed to support the FFA program. Last quarter $30,000 in grants were awarded to A Place at the Table, TABLE, and Meals on Wheels Orange County, NC.
Each time you round up or put cash in our donation boxes, you help provide groceries for the growing number of individuals and families in our communities who are facing food insecurity. Thank you!!!
