Calling All Shoppers!

The GIANT Company is once again partnering with Hempfield School District on a program to help support children in our schools facing food insecurity.

The “ROUND UP AT THE REGISTER” program will run from January 1 through February 28, 2022. Everyone who shops at GIANT, MARTIN’S and GIANT Heirloom Market stores will be invited to “round up” their grocery purchase and donate the round up amount to the program fund. GIANT will also include CHOICE Rewards points that are converted to grocery dollars.  

The funds earned from this program will be used to address food insecurity in our schools. The more people who participate in the program, the more funds that will be raised to help students! Thank you in advance for “rounding up” to help children in our district! 

We are excited to welcome the class of 2035! Registration for the 2022-2023 school year is now open. Learn more about kindergarten registration here www.hempfieldsd.org/kindergarten.
