CBS News New York and Wegmans launch Season of Giving Check Out Hunger drive

CBS Stations across the Northeast are partnering with Wegmans food markets for our Season of Giving Check Out Hunger campaign. CBS News New York greeted shoppers at three locations during live broadcasts Saturday morning. CBS News New York's Allen Devlin reports.

CBS News New York's Season of Giving kicked off in a big way at Wegmans Food Markets in New York and New Jersey!

When CBS News New York's Chris Wragge visited the Wegmans location in Lake Grove, he saw that some employees are getting in on the giving, too.

Giving initiatives are a year-round effort for Wegmans. The store regularly partners with local food banks and pantries to donate leftover food, helping feed millions across the Tri-State Area who are dealing with hunger and food insecurity. CBS News New York's Jessica Moore reports.

Long Island Cares has distributed over 12 million pounds of food to people facing hunger. The organization says partners like Wegmans have been key to helping them feed those in need. CBS News New York's Dick Brennan reports.

Margaret Jaskorynski said she experienced food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, she works in customer and knowledge services at Wegmans in Astor Place and a key part of her job is to identify and collect food to be donated. CBS News New York's Jessica Moore reports.

Millions of people across our area are facing hunger, with a reported one in four kids facing food insecurity. Now we all have the opportunity to do something about that. CBS News New York's Kristine Johnson reports.
