Stater Bros. Charities’ annual Harvesting Hope Campaign has returned to raise funds for local food banks now through December 31.
During the campaign shoppers will have an opportunity to donate their loose change into Harvesting Hope coin collection canisters or to purchase $5 donation cards at checkout.
Last year, Stater Bros. Charities raised funds to provide nearly two million meals to individuals and families facing hunger throughout Southern California.
“The holidays should be a time for celebration, but for many, it only serves as a reminder that many people in our community continue to suffer from hunger and food insecurity,” said Nancy Negrette, Chairman and President Stater Bros. Charities. “In the past, our customers and teammates have consistently come through in times of need, and I have no doubt they will deliver again this year.”
All funds raised throughout the campaign will stay local, with a large portion benefitting regional food banks listed below and the remaining funds distributed among smaller food pantries, shelters, community kitchens, etc.

- Feeding America of Riverside l San Bernardino Counties
