Each "Sack Hunger" bag costs $5. Volunteers filled those bags with seven items, including things like peanut butter and pasta. Bags can be purchased at any Pick 'n Save or Metro Market location.
"What we're really hoping to take away is feeding the communities that we serve and being able to help put some food on the table when they need it the most," said Amanda Puck, Roundy's vice president of communications and brand development.
Donations benefit Feeding America affiliates, including Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, and food pantry partners.
