For over a century, Hannaford has been dedicated to community. We continue to do our part to support local organizations and programs to ensure our communities are healthy and thriving for years to come.
Increasing Food Access
We're proud to live and work in our communities, and we're committed to playing an active role in helping them thrive. That starts with food. Through food donations, financial support and volunteer efforts, we care for our neighbors every day by making sure they can access the food they need for themselves and their families.
Food Donations
Hannaford donates over 27 million pounds of food each year to food banks and partner agencies across our five states. The donations help stock the shelves at local pantries and put food on families' tables in communities big and small.
