Giant Food and Avocados from Peru Partner to Support Washington D.C. and Maryland-Area Food Banks
Giant Food, the Washington D.C. area's leading regional grocery chain, is teaming up with Avocados from Peru (AFP) to donate a trailer of over 40,000 pounds of Avocados from Peru, also known as summer avocados, to Feeding America network members Capital Area Food Bank in Northeast Washington, D.C., and the Maryland Food Bank in Baltimore, Md. Both deliveries will take place on National Avocado Day, Friday, July 31, 2020.
These generous donations will make the globally popular "superfood" more accessible to DMV area families during these challenging times. Depending on their size, that’s over 120,000 avocados of the beloved fruit.
