2022 Plaid Pantry Charity Campaign
We are excited to announce Plaid Pantry’s 5th annual charity campaign in December 2022! This all started five years ago over a dinner conversation with our up and coming store managers to reimagine a more impactful way to give back to the communities we live and operate in. By the end of dinner, our store managers had narrowed down and voted on six local non-profit organizations that would best align with our customers, staff and our mission to give back. This program has come a long way since that dinner five years ago, and thanks to the generous support from our customers and vendor partners we have been able to raise over $420,000!
You can participate at any Plaid Pantry at checkout.
