Food Waste Reduction Strategies

  • Food Lion is committed to donating 1 billion more meals by 2025 to its neighbors in need since achieving the 500 million meal goal in 2019. More than 158 million meals were donated in 2022 through Food Lion Feeds and more than 1 billion have been donated since 2014.

  • Since 2008, The GIANT Company has donated frozen unsold meat to regional food bank partners as part of their Meat the Needs program. In 2022, the brand donated more than 12 million pounds of fresh and non-perishable food as a Feeding America partner. The GIANT Company also diverted 3.4 million pounds from landfill using the Flashfood program.

  • Giant Food donated over 4.7 million pounds of food in 2022.

  • Hannaford continues to enhance its donation practices, ensuring more food is available for donation to community pantries, soup kitchens and food banks. Year-over-year food donations are up and have exceeded 26 million pounds in 2023.

  • Stop & Shop operates its Green Energy Facility, an anaerobic digester that uses unsold, non-donatable food from over 235 of its stores to create electricity. Since its opening in 2016, it has processed over 202,266 tons of food waste to create over 37,860 megawatts of power.
