BJ's Wholesale Club announced a donation of $1.25 million through its Charitable Foundation to help reduce hunger, with initial grants focused on its home state of Massachusetts. These funds will enhance the capacity of food banks and pantries through new trucks, refrigeration units, and renovations.
Bob Eddy, Chairman and CEO, emphasized BJ's 40-year legacy of making a positive difference in communities, starting in Massachusetts. The grants are part of the company's powerful purpose of 'taking care of the families who depend on us.'
Notable Massachusetts recipients include Franklin Food Pantry, which will acquire a new refrigerated truck and cooling units, and Marlborough Community Cupboard, receiving funds for two commercial refrigerators. This initiative supports Feeding America's network, with which BJ's has provided over 155 million meals over 15 years.
