WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. – QuickChek Corporation will once again be participating in the Check-Out Hunger campaign to help feed hungry families during the upcoming holiday season.

The fresh convenience market chain is a campaign partner of the fundraiser that takes place every autumn at most major supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the region, benefiting more than 30 Feeding America food banks and affiliates from New England to Florida. The Community Food Bank of New Jersey, the Hudson Valley Food Bank and Long Island Cares are among those beneficiaries.

Shoppers at each of QuickChek’s 142 stores can help feed hungry families in their communities by donating $1, $3 or $5 coupons at check-out counters during a seven-week period that begins now and runs through December 19, 2015, providing food, help and hope to those in need.

The company raised $125,000 during the 2014 campaign to help feed hungry families in need throughout the metropolitan area last year. “Being in the food business, our partnership with community food banks where we have stores is a natural way for us to further embrace our local communities and neighbors in their time of need,” said QuickChek CEO Dean Durling, in a press release.

All of the money raised benefits those in need within the counties in which QuickChek operates store locations. In addition to participating in Check-Out Hunger, QuickChek team members aid thousands of area families and individuals in need by volunteering at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the Hudson Valley Food Bank and Long Island Cares throughout the year.
