Project C.A.R.E.S raised over $149,000

This year, Plaid Pantry proudly continued their partnership with Sunshine Division and SOLVE to launch Project C.A.R.E.S., a charity campaign dedicated to addressing two critical issues in our communities—hunger and environmental cleanup. With the unwavering support of our Plaid Pantry team members, vendor partners, and loyal customers, we successfully raised $149,820 during the July 2024 Project C.A.R.E.S. campaign. This marks the fourth year of our partnership, and to date, we’ve raised nearly $640,000, bringing us closer to our ambitious goal of $1 million in the coming years.

A heartfelt thank you to our 750+ Plaid Pantry team members, generous vendor partners, and customers who have made this achievement possible. Your contributions are invaluable, and your support is instrumental in enabling Sunshine Division and SOLVE to continue their vital work in the communities where we live and work.
