Every Act of Kindness Makes a Difference At PS It Matters, we believe everyday choices add up. By giving shoppers an easy way to make a difference, the Bags 4 My Cause and Bloomin’ 4 Good Programs have generated more than $10.6 million in donations to over 42,000 nonprofit organizations since inception in 2011. This year alone, these two initiatives have donated over $2,000,000 to more than 17,800 nonprofits. To illustrate the meaning behind these numbers, our Nonprofit Engagement Team began conducting interviews with benefiting nonprofits in 2021. The resulting Impact Stories showcase the immense value of our partnership better than any facts or figures ever could. These stories highlight the multifaceted ways nonprofits contribute to their communities and how they have furthered their impact through the Giant Food Community Bag Program. Enclosed in this book are the stories of four nonprofits Giant Food supported this year. To hear from more nonprofits, visit the Giant Food Program Website: giantfood.2givelocal.com/stories. It is through Giant Food’s dedication to creating a positive impact that, together, we are able to spark meaningful change. We sincerely value your partnership and look forward to continuing this inspiring work in 2024. Thank you for joining us in believing that every act of kindness makes a difference, no matter how small. We appreciate your commitment to supporting local nonprofits and strengthening the communities we call home.

Guiding community members toward selfsufficiency. COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER The Community Resource Center is dedicated to helping low-income families and individuals through its food rescue, baby pantry, job center, day center and emergency financial services. Giant Food has supported this nonprofit organization through its Community Bag Program.

Tell us about Community Resource Center. I love our mission because it starts out with the words, “With dignity and respect.” The Community Resource Center (CRC) helps people move to the next step in their journey towards self-sufficiency. If we can relieve food insecurity, people can get up, go to work, feed their children, go to school and move on to all those everyday things. It’s a basic level need that, with your help, we’re meeting. The CRC was founded in 2011, so we’ve been around for a long time.

What services do you provide to the community? At the Community Resource Center, we provide our food rescue service, baby supplies, our job center, and emergency financial services. This year, we’ve helped eight people move from homelessness, such as living in their car or an unstable living situation, into their own place. From there, they can keep taking advantage of the food rescue so they can pay their rent.

If we can relieve food insecurity, people can get up, go to work, feed their children, go to school, and move on to all those everyday things. It’s a basic level need that, with your help, we’re meeting.

What sets Community Resource Center apart from other organizations in your community? We are open five days a week, and people experiencing homelessness can come in from April until mid-December to take a shower, do laundry, and go to the food rescue. What sets us apart is our longevity and people knowing that we’re here.

We are open five days a week, and the homeless can come in from April until mid-December to take a shower, do laundry, and go to the food rescue. A lot of what we do is provide shelf-stable foods with pop tops, but it’s a little bit of everything. For example, we recently got this crazy donation of several thousand pounds of cheese. I had no idea what we would do with it when it came off the truck, but our food rescue lead does not turn anything down. God bless these volunteers. They took these big wheels of cheese and giant knives to cut them into slices and package them. They were expensive cheeses our clients normally couldn’t afford, so they just loved it. 03

Tell us a story that illustrates the good work of your organization. We have volunteers who have been here for years. One volunteer was at the food rescue when two older women came up. The two older women kept apologizing, saying, “I’m so sorry for bothering you. I’m so sorry we’re here.” And he said, “You don’t have to apologize.” She told him that up until a year ago, their social security allowed them to take care of themselves. But since everything became much more expensive, they couldn’t afford food anymore. As she explained, she started to cry. The volunteer said, “Would you like a hug?” He’s this bear of a guy, and he hugged them. So, they got a big hug, and that’s pretty typical of what happens here. If it’s your first time, you are welcome. If it’s your 55th time, we know you and are already waving at you. Our clients truly become people that we embrace.

What is your most outstanding achievement or contribution to the community?

What do you want people to know about the Community Resource Center?

Our Safe Haven winter program is our most outstanding contribution to the community because while there are shelters for the evenings, it’s still very cold during the day. From mid-December to the end of March, we have a day shelter for homeless people, where they get meals, showers, laundry, and job help. We also connect them with other social, mental, and basic health services. For example, if somebody has a cut that’s not healing, we work with other partners like Nurse Neighbors.

We are judgment-free. It’s a judgment-free zone. Clients come from all walks of life. Someone can walk in looking like they shouldn’t be homeless, but they are. Some of our clients come for two weeks because they’re passing through on their way to someplace warmer.

On average, fifteen clients a day benefit from Safe Haven, which is open seven days a week for sixteen weeks. We receive around 1,680 client visits for the sixteen-week program. These clients also get homecooked meals thanks to our seven partner organizations that cook daily lunches. This program is how I got to know the CRC because I belonged to a women’s club that made lunches in the winter.

We pride ourselves on our very welcoming atmosphere. They can all avail themselves of the same services. We don’t turn anybody away due to race, creed, orientation, or anything else. We pride ourselves on our very welcoming atmosphere.

How do you use funds you’ve received from the Giant Food Community Bag Program? We use it for everything: food, shampoo, razors, body lotion, laundry detergent, all of it. The winter program alone costs well over $40,000 partially because we hire extra staff, so clients always have someone here to talk to and connect them to other services. We take all the help we can from anywhere.

Is there anything you would like to add? Also, I personally shop almost exclusively at our local Giant because I love the staff. I’ve lived here for 30 years and love that I still see the same guy in produce. I even order my groceries online with Giant. I love Giant; that’s just me. When our volunteers show up, the fact that everybody’s friendly and helpful makes all the difference in the world.

Executive Director Nancy Alexander was interviewed for this impact story.

Ensuring homebound persons receive nutritious meals. CALVERT MEALS ON WHEELS Calvert Meals on Wheels (CMOW) is an allvolunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing one daily home-delivered meal with a smile five days a week. Giant Food has supported this organization through its Community Bag Program.

Tell us about Calvert Meals on Wheels. It’s a meal and a smile! CMOW, founded in 1982, is a volunteer organization whose mission is to provide meals to homebound seniors. They’re ready-made meals that we provide five days a week. But these are more than just meals. What we do is provide a wellness check with human interaction. It’s a service for the clients. Our independent organization was incorporated to provide daily meal service to homebound senior citizens of Calvert County, MD.

What services do you provide to the community? CMOW provides ready-to-eat meals five days a week. We serve these meals on a TV dinner tray, with an entree and two vegetables. You also get a bag with milk, juice, and bread, and it could have a salad, applesauce, and fruit. We also provide monitoring and wellness services for our clients. If we see a situation that needs intervention, we can alert the proper authorities. We’re here for whatever assistance we can provide. Our visits are often a great way to have human contact and ensure clients get the necessary nourishment. One of my clients told me her health had improved since she started having the meals delivered. These are nutritionally based healthy meals. Because nutrition plays a significant role, our meals are low-carb, low-sugar, and low-salt. And we also try to accommodate any allergies clients may have.

One of my clients told me her health had improved since she started having the meals delivered. CMOW provides wellness checks, friendship, conversation, and delicious meals with a smile five days a week.

What sets you apart from other nonprofits in your community?

We are a 97% volunteer organization. Our volunteers are dedicated to improving the lives of seniors and are second to none. For example, we provide extra treats to our seniors for a personal touch during holidays and other occasions. We also send cards for life events and illnesses to our clients.

Tell us a story that illustrates the good work of your organization. We can save people’s lives. On several occasions, our volunteers have visited people’s homes and found them in various states of distress. Our team has been able to stay there and call the authorities to get them the medical assistance they need. We ask our staff not to provide medical aid themselves because they may do more harm than good.

We can save people’s lives. On several occasions, our volunteers have visited people’s homes and found them in various states of distress. Some of our clients are entirely homebound due to physical difficulties. They’re unable to get up, and they don’t have caregivers. Many live alone. We go into bedbound clients’ homes and put the food in the refrigerator or table. When COVID shut everything down, CMOW continued delivering meals. We had to modify our schedule from providing one meal five days a week to delivering five meals one day a week. We had to ensure everything was microwavable and could stay fresh for those five days. As I indicated earlier, our mission is to provide a meal, a smile, and a wellness check. We usually come five days a week and have that muchneeded contact and connection with people. But during COVID, the weekly delivery made this hard to accomplish. So, I initiated a program to call clients for a daily check. Route coordinators would send a calendar and ask our volunteers to contact the clients every day. This way, we could connect daily with our clients.

What is your most outstanding achievement or contribution to the community? CMOW is proud to reduce food insecurity in our community. For some of our clients, our deliveries are the best meal of the day. We are happy knowing our clients get a nutritious meal with milk and fruit. And in some cases, depending on how often or how much you eat, the food is enough for two meals. Our team also does unique things for our clients. For example, we partner with a homemaker group to make treats for clients; volunteers bring flowers, candy, and other goodies to clients throughout the year. Groups such as local quilters made placemats for the clients, and the Girl and Boy Scouts made cards for the clients. One volunteer will bring her granddaughter for deliveries, and the granddaughter will sing for the clients. The volunteers do this out of love, which warms my heart! CMOW have the most outstanding volunteers; they always are willing to go that “extra mile” for our clients.

What do you want people to know about Calvert Meals on Wheels? CMOW is one of many groups that address food insecurity in our community. Our organization works with other nonprofits and receives monetary and in-kind donations for our operations. The United Way, Combined Federal Campaign, and the Maryland Charity Campaign contribute to CMOW. We receive local, state, and federal funding through the Calvert County Office on Aging. Our clients’ donations comprise a third of our budget, and we have private contributions as well.

CMOW is one of many groups that address food insecurity in our community. Our business partners also provide offerings for us to give to clients. One year the Dunkirk Giant donated pantry boxes and pies to our clients. The clients were very pleased. We have individuals and businesses who donate funds to us—seeing all these groups come together for a good cause and support the community is excellent. We could not do it by ourselves. Together we have improved the quality of life for our clients.

How do you use the funds raised from the Giant Food Community Bag Program? We will use this money to buy daily and emergency meals. Our service has two types of meals. We deliver ready-to-eat meals five days a week. We also have emergency meals where our clients receive a box of shelfstable meals three times a year. These meals can replace the daily meals we cannot deliver because of weather, holidays, or unforeseen circumstances.

Is there anything you’d like to add? The organization does a lot, not just on the food side but on the human-interest side. The volunteers genuinely care. During December, I deliver meals to the clients as Mrs. Claus. I also meet and greet the volunteers as Mrs. Claus and thank them for their dedication. CMOW goes out of its way to ensure the clients are treated well with as much of a holistic approach as possible. It’s wonderful. We have a volunteer who’s a hundred years old. Her husband drives, and she’s there to give out meals. I get to see her every year at Christmas time. I’ll thank her and tell her, “Wow, you are such an inspiration!” We also have a volunteer who has been with the group since we started in 1982. Some volunteers bring their pets along for the ride, and we have volunteer dogs. The clients really enjoy these interactions. It’s fantastic and makes us feel like we’re doing something right. Because of great support, CMOW can provide meals for years. I enjoy working with the organization. I have met many people who have touched my life and the lives of others in a positive way. Thank you, Giant Food, for making this possible through your Community Bag Program!

Unleashing confidence and inner strength. GIRLS ON THE RUN MONTGOMERY COUNTY Girls on the Run has fun, evidence-based programs that inspire all girls to build their confidence, kindness and decision-making skills. Dynamic lessons instill valuable life skills, including the important connection between physical and emotional health. Giant Food has supported this organization through its Community Bag Program.

Tell us about Girls on the Run Montgomery County. Our mission is to deliver a quality program that educationally prepares young girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. We strive to touch the lives of all girls throughout Montgomery County regardless of their family’s economic status. We were founded in 2006, and our first season was in 2007. Girls on the Run International is quite a bit older, established in 1996. The way Girls on the Run works is that we’re an independent council, but there’s a national network as well. A woman named Eve Mills started our chapter. She was a coach with Girls on the Run in Fairfax County, Virginia, and she coached her oldest daughter. Then, when she moved to Montgomery County, there wasn’t a program. She loved it so much that she decided to start one. We started with 89 girls in our very first season. And at our height before the pandemic, we reached over 5,000 girls in a year. You can see it grew very quickly.

What services do you provide to the community? We provide two programs. The first is a 3rd through 5th-grade program called Girls on the Run. The program for 6th through 8th-grade girls is called Heart and Sole, like a sole of a running shoe. These are positive youth development programs that incorporate physical activity. The technical term for this in the curricular world is a P.A.P.Y.D. program (Physical Activity, Positive Youth Development), and we provide that. The girls meet twice a week for an hour and a half for ten weeks. We prepare them for a 5K at the end of the ten weeks. All the girls, whether in Girls on the Run or Heart and Sole, come together twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring, and they do that culminating event. But along the way, they’re getting lessons to deal with things like standing up for yourself and your friends and how to build those defenses against bullying. A lot of what goes into it is self-esteem and confidence building. But they’re running and training for this 5K simultaneously, so ultimately, the 5K provides confidence through accomplishment. You set your mind to something, set a goal, follow a path and achieve it. Confidence through accomplishment is what we’re trying to teach these girls.

A lot of what goes into it is self-esteem and confidence building. But they’re running and training for this 5K simultaneously, so ultimately, the 5K provides confidence through accomplishment. Some of our girls come to us, and they run all the time because they’re on sports teams. Their parents are looking for them to get the curriculum piece of it. Then we have girls who aren’t physically active and think there’s no way I could run or walk a 5K. That distance seems insurmountable. But what they realize is, over the course of that ten weeks, it’s possible. It’s those baby steps: you set your mind to this goal and take those steps. That’s what we do. Some girls show up on the first practice and can run consistently. And other girls have never run before and think, there’s no way. But they realize they can.

What sets you apart from other nonprofits in your community? Our national coach training program has been lauded as one of the cornerstones and hallmarks of our program. This ensures that coaches get consistent quality training that gives them the confidence to deliver the program. We’re one of three programs chosen by Harvard as the best social-emotional learning program. The idea is that we’re building empowerment for these kids and including physical activity. There are a lot of positive youth development programs out there or physical activity programs. There are very few that do both; we are one of them. The U.S. Surgeon General highlighted us as one of the programs that help girls navigate social media and all the damage it can cause. In his report issued about a month ago, he noted that our program can help girls combat the harmful effects of social media. I’ve been with Girls on the Run for 15 years now, and when I first started, we talked about glamorous magazine ads and how that form of beauty was edited and altered. It wasn’t real. And now it’s in your face with Instagram and Facebook; it’s so easily accessible. We try to dispel a lot of that. We work with the girls to help them navigate all that and give them a kind of armor, going into middle and high school because those are the fraught years. We consider ourselves a prevention program. We get these girls young and try to give them those self-confidence tools to understand and dismiss some of that craziness on social media and in their relationships. Girls on the Run does a lot of work around confidence building.

We consider ourselves a prevention program. We get these girls young and try to give them those self-confidence tools to understand and dismiss some of that craziness on social media and in their relationships.

Tell us a story that illustrates the good work of your organization. We give a college scholarship every year to one alumna from our program. The girl we gave it to last year wrote me an email at the end of her first year in college. She told me it had been a year since she was honored with her scholarship, and she wanted to update me. She’s doing a dual program in Dublin, Ireland and at Columbia University. This alum is Iranian, and she let me know she found herself in Dublin at a protest for solidarity for what all the women in Iran are going through. Women who won’t wear their hijabs have lost their lives. She explained that she wanted to express her identity as a proud Iranian woman when she got to the protest. As an act of protest and advocacy, she cut off her hair in front of a group of students and ended up on the paper’s front page the following day. Then she was invited as a guest speaker at a university debate and worked alongside the university to bring awareness to human rights, specifically female rights in Iran. She said that even though she’s not closer to a solution for Iranian women, she was so proud that she believed in herself and glad the lessons she learned about advocacy and standing up for yourself at Girls on the Run fueled her passion. This is a heartwarming story for us that speaks to the value of this program. Many girls return after college and say they got so much out of being a part of Girls on the Run.

What is your most outstanding achievement or contribution to the community? 100% of our financial aid goes to underserved girls in our community. We strive to touch the lives of all the young girls that want to participate regardless of their family’s economic status. In our 15-year history, we’ve given Montgomery County families over $1.2 million in financial aid so their daughters can participate. If someone comes to us and says, “I can’t afford the program,” we have a sliding scale for those families. Often underserved families join at no cost and get a free pair of brand-new running shoes because we want to ensure that anyone who wishes to participate has the proper gear.

We strive to touch the lives of all the young girls that want to participate regardless of their family’s economic status. It’s really the financial aid that takes down that barrier to participation because when families see the price of the program, it can be a non-starter for a lot of them. In our Title 1 schools, the federally funded underserved schools, we remove prices from the registration so that the families don’t feel intimidated or that they have to ask for financial aid. We go out to these schools with grant funding earmarked explicitly for Title 1 schools. This erases any barriers to participation for these students.

What do you want people to know about Girls on the Run Montgomery County? It really is for any girl that wishes to participate. Everyone will get something out of this program regarding the lessons learned. Our coaches are dedicated to these girls. They’re all volunteers and want to ensure the girls have that mentored relationship through these lessons. Many of our coaches come out of the program going, “Gosh, I wish there was a program like this for me when I was growing up; I would have more confidence.” We are working to change that narrative. Any girl will benefit regardless. Whether she could pay for this program ten times over or can’t afford it at all, that part doesn’t matter. What we’re teaching the girls levels the playing field regarding who can participate. You don’t have to be an athlete to do it. No one gets cut from Girls on the Run. The program is also good for the coaches; we’ll often get coach surveys back that say they got so much out of the program, too. The lessons resonate with them just as much as the girls. It doesn’t matter how old you are, handling difficult situations and taking a breather are suitable life lessons for everyone. The coaches bond with the girls during that 10-week season and impart wisdom from their perspectives. The relationships created are a beautiful part of this process.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, handling difficult situations and taking a breather are suitable life lessons for everyone. 20

How do you use the funds raised from the Giant Food Community Bag Program? All our funding, any donation that comes in the door, goes right to financial aid and shoes for the girls.

Is there anything you’d like to add? If someone is interested in bringing the program to their community or school, they can contact us on our website, www.girlsontherunofmoco.org. We’re always happy to talk to new people interested in bringing Girls on the Run to their community.

The journey to freedom from disordered eating. ROCK RECOVERY The work of Rock Recovery in addressing eating disorders and related mental health issues is unique and inspiring. Rock Recovery staff and therapist team are shown in the above photo. Giant Food has supported this nonprofit through its Community Bag Program.

Tell us about Rock Recovery. We were founded in 2009 by a lovely woman named Dr. Carolyn Larson and a number of women that she had known throughout her life. The whole purpose of Rock Recovery is to bridge gaps in treatment and understanding of eating disorders and related mental health issues. Our mission statement is to support the journey to freedom from disordered eating. Our work is really unique. There are other nonprofits that work in the eating disorder body image field, but we do education support groups and direct therapy treatment because mental health coverage is really challenging. A lot of therapists and technicians don’t take insurance, so people are paying $150200 an hour for treatment. But that’s just not possible for a lot of people. We offer all sliding scale services, accessible to anyone who needs it. We do inperson support here at our office in Arlington, Virginia, and then virtual services for people in Maryland, Virginia and DC. We also provide virtual support groups nationwide.

What services do you provide to the community? We provide three main programs. The first is our community empowerment, comprised of workshops with corporations, churches, schools, universities and the general public, just to help raise awareness about eating disorders, body image issues and any kind of mental health condition. Second, we do support groups that are all online and virtual, many of which have a faith-based component for people who want to integrate spirituality. It’s hard to find people who do faith and science well, so we do programs that integrate both for people. We have different six-week workshops and then some ongoing weekly support groups focused on different topics like intuitive eating, body image and finding your true identity.

We talk a lot about how we give people the gift of “I get it.” What a relief to hear that, to know you are not alone! Then, third, the main portion of our work is direct therapy treatment offering. So, we do a lot of groups. All of our services are meant to help people who don’t quite need to go to a higher level of care, like a residential or a hospital setting, but they want more than just individual therapy. They want community; they want people who get it. We talk a lot about how we give people the gift of “I get it.” You’re sitting in a room, saying something that feels so vulnerable and scary about how you’re struggling. Someone else says, “Oh yeah, me too…I get it.” What a relief to hear that, to know you are not alone! Because the biggest lie we can believe is that “it’s just me” or “something is wrong with me.” And there’s not. There are millions of people who are struggling with eating issues. We do group meal support where people actually come together and eat dinner together and then do therapy. We have body image-based therapy groups talking about self-esteem, resilience and building a positive self-image. And then we do individual therapy sessions as well. And all of that is sliding scale so cost is never an issue. These programs are for people of all genders, but more women struggle with these issues than any other population.

What sets you apart from other nonprofits in your community? What sets us apart is that we offer individual and group treatment, do a sliding scale, and integrate faith for people who want it; that is an important part. Part of why our founder started Rock Recovery was because she felt like it was a calling for her. We want to serve all people. Our doors are open very wide, and we don’t discriminate. We’ve had a lot of people come who, if they are really strong Christians, only want something that comes from that perspective and they won’t do anything else. Unfortunately, a lot of faith communities don’t know how to address mental health really well. Fortunately, we’re able to integrate faith with addressing mental health.

Tell us a story that illustrates the good work of your organization. We have lots of stories, but this is one of my favorites, though it happened some time ago. A woman named Christine came to our program years ago. We were the first thing she ever did for treatment. She had an idea that she was struggling but didn’t really know what to call it or how to put a name to it, which was bulimia. But she came to our meal support treatment group. She went to the program for, I think, about nine months. We often allow people to bring a family member or someone from their own personal support group to group meetings once a month, just to reinforce their support network at home, know how to care for them and what to say and not to say. So, she invited her parents; they became really supportive, and they became a really big part of her support system. Eventually, she graduated from our program and decided to quit her high-powered job and go back to school to become a nurse. Now she’s a labor and delivery nurse, and she just loves it and feels so fulfilled. She said she never would have made such a life-changing decision if she hadn’t gotten healthy and well through our program.

What is your most outstanding achievement or contribution to the community? We’ve really grown during the last couple of years. COVID was really hard for everyone, for lots of reasons. Inquiries for our programs went up 400%, literally overnight. We were on the phone 15-16 hours a day. We actually were able to suddenly move things online and reach people across the whole state of Virginia and the entire U.S. That was a big accomplishment for us, to go from having our brick-and-mortar office here. Providing our services in person is wonderful, but expanding to reach people who don’t have access to resources if they’re in a rural place or don’t have affordable resources wherever they are was just a huge accomplishment for us. We’re still running about 60% of our programs virtually, even though we’re also back to in-person. The majority of what we do is virtual now, and it’s just been amazing. It was a blessing in disguise. A lot of people struggle with eating disorders but manage it well enough to get through each day. But COVID made them decline and get a lot worse. Otherwise, I think a lot of people would never have reached out for help if they hadn’t worsened. They declined, but then they got better. So, it did bring some redemption.

What do you want people to know about Rock Recovery? I want people to know that it really is possible to live at peace with food and your body. It’s hard in this culture, but we are really helping people find healing and freedom that is hard to find anywhere else.

I want people to know that it really is possible to live at peace with food and your body. It really is possible to get better. I’m living proof. Our founder had her own story, and we have hundreds and hundreds of clients we’ve served who have similar stories. I think people who don’t have these battles with food cannot comprehend these issues. They can understand having a drug problem, an alcohol problem or a gambling problem. But when it comes to food, they look at it much differently. A lot of our staff have lived experience, so there is so much they can bring to the discussion and treatment. It requires specialization in training, and therapists who aren’t trained in eating disorders specifically can cause more harm than good because this is a pretty counterintuitive thing to treat.

How will you use the funds raised from the Giant Food Community Bag Program? We’ll use these funds to provide scholarships for access to our programs and help more people get access to the care that they need.

Christie Dondero Bettwy is Executive Director of Rock Recovery. Christie became Rock Recovery’s first staff member in April 2013 after serving as a faithful volunteer for three years.
