Save A Lot thanks shoppers for helping spread holiday cheer in Williamsburg one bag at a time

With the help and generosity of its valued customers, the Williamsburg Save A Lot store has donated more than 1,000 bags of much-needed, high-quality food to Calvary Missionary Baptist Church.

Throughout the holiday season, Save A Lot customers in Williamsburg – and across the country – showed their support for their local communities by purchasing pre-assembled bags of food that were donated to local and regional charitable organizations.

The Williamsburg Save A Lot store, which is located at 1645 S. US25W saw one of the highest donations across all stores nationwide, with valued customers purchasing and donating 1,044 bags – more than $5,220 worth of food – to support families in need.

Each bag is stocked with private label and brand name food items, including pasta, stuffing mix and other pantry staples from Save A Lot. To further amplify the contributions made by the Williamsburg community, Save A Lot is donating an additional $500, gifting a grand total of $5,720 worth of food and financial contributions to Calvary Missionary Baptist Church.

“Supporting local families through our Bags for a Brighter Holiday donation initiative is something we’re proud to do every year,” said Teddy Anders, Williamsburg Save A Lot Store Manager. “To see our customers really rally around our community and those who need help is inspiring to see. This initiative is one of my favorites because it makes such a big impact here in Williamsburg. We thank our customers for their continued support of this program.”
