The Giant Co. will provide $100,000 in funding to six additional groups as part of its overall commitment to racial equality and advancing diversity and inclusion. The funds will be split between local YWCA chapters to support their missions of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, and freedom. Recipients include YWVA Lancaster, YWCA Carlisle, YWCA Tri-County Area, YWCA Greater Harrisburg, and YWCA Allentown.
In addition, the Giant Co. is providing $50,000 to the Borough of Steelton for its Steelton Unity Park, which will help install playground equipment, tables, benches, and other amenities to provide a space for the community to gather and children of all ages to play.
“Each of these organizations is working toward creating healthier communities through the advancement of racial equality and equity, something that the Giant company strongly supports,” said Aaysha Noor, head of diversity and inclusion, Giant Co. “We are honored to be partnering with these organizations to create a better, more equitable tomorrow for our shared communities. Together, we will effect long-lasting change and make a difference.”
