The Giant Co. presented Williamsport Area School District (WASD) with $6,621.76 Tuesday morning to benefit the district’s food service program.

The donated funds will be used to support kitchen improvements at Jackson Primary School, according to Aramark’s Michelle Keim, the district’s food service director.

The contribution was made with money raised through the company’s Feeding School Kids initiative, an effort focused on supporting food programs at local public schools to address childhood hunger.

Since 2021, the district has received $51,309 through the store’s charitable initiative.

WASD is among the public school districts to benefit from the program in the communities The Giant Co. serves across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
