Eat'n Park is kicking off its 48th annual Caring for Kids campaign with a brand-new way to raise funds for local children's hospitals and create smiles by introducing the Smiley Cookie Club.
For a $5 donation, guests can join the Smiley Cookie Club and use their Smiley Cookie Key Tag to redeem a free Smiley Cookie with in-store purchase every time they visit Eat'n Park in 2027.
Smiley Cookie Key Tags can be purchased in person at all Eat'n Park restaurants and are available while limited supplies last. To receive a free Original Smiley Cookie, Smiley Cookie Club members can simply present their Smiley Cookie Key Tag when they dine in at any Eat'n Park restaurant.
In addition to joining the Smiley Cookie Club, the community can support the 2026 Caring for Kids campaign in many ways, such as purchasing Christmas Star merchandise at Eat'n Park, with 10% of sales benefiting Caring for Kids, or making a donation when ordering Eat'n Park takeout online via the Eat'n Park website or mobile app.

The Giant Company, known locally as Giant and Martin's, will donate $200,000 in turkey, gift card and monetary donations to 39 food banks and community partners across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia in support of hunger relief initiatives.
"The Giant Company is assisting our community partners in a variety of ways this Thanksgiving season," said Courtney Hopcraft, Giant community relations manager. "From providing turkeys to regional food banks, to helping local pantries and organizations supplement holiday needs with gift cards or donations to enhance food insecurity initiatives, this year's donations are supporting a variety of hunger relief efforts in the communities we serve through Thanksgiving and beyond."
Giant and Martin's customers can choose to support neighbors in need this Thanksgiving. They can donate their free turkey certificates at the register in-store to a local food bank through Nov. 26.
