Martin's Food Markets customers and associates helped brighten the holiday season for Richmond and Williamsburg families in need by donating $102,350 through this year’s Share a Holiday Meal, including $26,150 to the Henrico Christmas Mother. Other donations were made to programs in Chesterfield, Hanover and to the Salvation Army in Central Virginia and Williamsburg.

“Since MARTIN’S started participating in the Share a Holiday Meal campaign in 2010, more than $280,000 has been donated to assist thousands of families across Central Virginia during the holidays,” said Jim Scanlon, regional vice president.

From Oct. 28 through Dec. 1, Martin's customers had the opportunity to support the Share a Holiday Meal program by making a donation in increments of $5, $10 or $20 at the checkout.
