Superintendent's Update

Since launching the 2021 Feeding School Kids initiative through our rounding up program or converting CHOICE points into donations, we have raised more than $7.5 million to address the issue of childhood hunger. This year's initiative raised a total of $1,274,857. All of these will go to local public school districts in the communities we serve, whether paying off lunch debt, school pantry program, mobile pantry, garden program, or weekend bag distribution. Additionally, The Giant Company / Martin's was proud to match the first $100,000 donated by customers.

For the fourth year in a row, Martin's in Rising Sun has generously donated over $7,000 to Cecil County Public Schools. We thank Mr. Brad Lowe, Manager of Martin's Rising Sun, and the Giant Company/Martin's for their generosity and partnership in addressing childhood hunger in Cecil County.
