Millions of people across the tri-state area are facing hunger.

CBS News New York is teaming up with Wegmans Food Markets and local food banks during our "Season of Giving Check Out Hunger" campaign and, together, we hope to change that.

From October 21 through November 28, you can stop by any Wegmans in our area to make a donation. Customers can donate $1, $2, $3, $5, or any amount at checkout. 100% of the proceeds go to each store's local Feeding America food bank.

If you are not able to stop by a Wegmans location, you can donate directly to your local participating food bank at the links below:

On Saturday morning, November 14, CBS News New York will be broadcasting live from two Wegman locations. We encourage you to stop by and meet the CBS News New York team while helping us "Check Out Hunger."

Wegmans locations for live broadcasts:

  • Montvale, NJ - 100 Farm View
  • Harrsison, NY – 106 Corporate Drive Park
