Throughout the holiday season, Save A Lot customers across the country showed their support for their local communities by purchasing pre-assembled bags of food that were donated to local and regional charitable organizations. Save A Lot also donated an additional dollar for each bag sold, gifting a grand total of more than $7,819 worth of food and financial contributions to Mountain Lion BackPack Program. The Bags for a Brighter Holiday program ran from November through the end of December, with customers donating to this effort at their local Save A Lot.
