Shoppers will find a display of Check-Out Hunger donation slips right at the checkout aisles. Every $1, $2, $3 and $5 donation slip has its own UPC, just like any other item in the store. Whenever a shopper makes a donation, the cashier scans the Check-Out Hunger donation slip. The donation is added to the bill and appears on the receipt. Please give generously whenever you see the Check-Out Hunger displays.
100% of every Check-Out Hunger donation in our service area comes to the Community FoodBank to help in the fight against hunger.

Hunger isn’t easy – with CHECK-OUT HUNGER, kindness is.

On FairTrade
The Social Justice committee raised awareness about the principle of Fair Trade and Fair Trade-certified products. We now use Equal Exchange (www.equalexchange.com ) as our supplier for Fair Trade coffee and tea. We held a Fair Trade Information event and would like to plan a Fair Trade fashion show in the future.
