Food Waste Reduction Strategies
Food Lion has achieved its goal of providing 1.5 billion meals to address food insecurity in the towns and cities it serves across its 10-state footprint. Food Lion Feeds’ new goal will double its efforts to-date and provide a total of 3 billion meals by 2032.
The GIANT Company, known locally as GIANT and MARTIN’S, donates frozen unsold meat to regional food bank partners as part of its Meat the Needs program. Annually, the company donates millions of pounds of fresh and non-perishable food as a long-term Feeding America partner. Non edible food is recycled responsibly with a third party to divert waste from landfill or incineration.
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 29 million pounds in 2025.
In 2025, Stop & Shop continued their commitment to assist with eliminating hunger in our local communities by donating over 18 million pounds of food to Feeding America affiliates as well as reducing what was sent to the landfills by recycling over 68 million pounds of non-donatable food waste through anaerobic digestion and animal feed.
