Recognizing the continued strain caused by changes to SNAP benefits and economic pressures many are facing, Save A Lot is launching the program a week early to help families stretch their budgets further this season.

“Our Bags for a Brighter Holiday program continues to demonstrate the power of community,” said Bill Mayo, Chief Executive Officer at Save A Lot. “To see the positive impact our customers and store teams create for local charities and those in need is inspiring. It’s this kind of generosity of neighbors helping neighbors that can help move a community forward during times of uncertainty. It’s fantastic to know Save A Lot is helping make that happen.”

Save A Lot stores, which are locally owned and operated, are passionate about making a difference. From supporting local charities to sponsoring in-store fundraisers, product drives and events for customers, locations are committed to doing A Lot of Good.

“We know many families are struggling right now, and community support has never mattered more, which is why we’ve accelerated the timing of our annual Bags for Brighter holiday program,” Mayo said.
