Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, the extreme-value grocery retailer, today launched its 13th Annual Independence from Hunger® Food Drive, to combat food insecurity and support families in vulnerable and disadvantaged communities throughout America. From June 28 to July 31, 2023, Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet is teaming up with SNT, CIU and The Joy of Giving Food Bank, to collect food and cash donations in-store and online.
Families and children in vulnerable and disadvantaged communities throughout the US are at continued risk of experiencing food insecurity, lacking the basic nutrients necessary for the development of an active, healthy life. With the ongoing inflation, families continue to turn to food banks as 34 million people in the United States are currently food insecure.

For 77 years, Grocery Outlet has been committed to giving back to local community organizations and IFH is an integral part of our commitment. “Since 1946, our core values have been built around our desire to both provide and give back to our local communities,” said Grocery Outlet Chairman of the Board, Eric Lindberg “Our customers and communities alike are the foundation of our success. We feel it’s important to continue supporting these communities in every way possible, especially in their time of greatest need.”
The Grand Terrace Grocery Outlet store is independently owned and operated by Eric and Priscilla Santillan who are committed to giving back to the local community.
