CARLISLE, Pa.  – The GIANT Co. will donate more than 3,000 hams to 14 partner food banks across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia this holiday season. An annual tradition for the company, the ham donations bring its brand platform For Today’s Table™ to life, ensuring families can celebrate the season with a staple in their holiday meals.
