ST. LOUIS (October 20, 2025) – Save A Lot, one of the largest discount grocery chains in the U.S., is proud to announce the results of its first-ever donation campaign with Meals on Wheels America, held in honor of National Grandparents Day.
Over the two-week campaign, shoppers across 130 participating Save A Lot stores donated a total of $14,916 to support local Meals on Wheels providers that deliver vital services to seniors experiencing hunger and isolation. Save A Lot matched the donations, bringing the total contribution to $30,000.
“We’re thrilled to donate to the community and support Meals on Wheel’s mission to help seniors in need,” said Jerome Bouyer, Vice President of Retail Operations at Save A Lot. “The response from our customers and store teams has been incredible, and together we’re proud to make a meaningful impact.”
The top fundraising stores include:
- Shelby, OH
- Crystal River, FL
- Ashland, OH
- Kenton, OH
- Port Richey, FL
“We’re honored to be the beneficiary of this giving campaign and deeply grateful for the generosity of Save A Lot and its customers,” said Len Walder, Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships at Meals on Wheels America. “The funds and awareness raised through this initiative will help strengthen local senior nutrition programs nationwide, helping ensure homebound seniors receive nutritious meals and moments of human connection.”
The donation will help Meals on Wheels providers deliver nutritious meals, friendly visits, and safety checks to seniors facing hunger and isolation. Many older adults struggle with mobility, transportation, and limited budgets, making it difficult to access the food and care they need to stay healthy and independent.
Save A Lot believes all neighborhoods should have access to fresh, high quality food options. Most stores are open daily from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. Customers can learn more by visiting SaveALot.com.
