SAVANNAH, Ga. – Parker’s Kitchen, a nationally acclaimed convenience store company and food service leader, is honored to launch a new round-up campaign to help end childhood hunger in communities across Georgia and South Carolina. The round-up campaign runs through February 28, 2027 at retail locations in both states.
Parker’s Kitchen will match 25% of all customer round-up donations. To amplify the impact even more, Parker’s Kitchen will match 50% of all donations throughout the month of November in honor of Thanksgiving and the company’s landmark 50th anniversary.
Over the past several years, Parker’s Kitchen has donated more than $1.4 million to reduce hunger in Georgia and South Carolina, making a transformative impact across the region. Every year, the company strives to provide two million meals to feed area children in need.
“At Parker’s Kitchen, we’re deeply committed to doing our part to end childhood hunger in the communities we serve, particularly as we approach the holiday season,” said Parker’s Kitchen founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker. “We invite customers to join us in helping put more food on more tables by rounding up their purchases. When you shop at Parker’s Kitchen, you know your money stays local and makes a positive impact. Together, we can turn spare change into a powerful force for change in the communities we serve.”
Proceeds from the latest round-up campaign at Parker’s Kitchen locations across Georgia, except Augusta, Ga., will support Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, a Savannah, Ga.-based nonprofit organization that provides emergency food assistance and distributes 25 million pounds of food annually to individuals who are at risk for hunger across a 21-county area.
Customer donations at Parker’s Kitchen stores in Augusta, Ga. and Aiken, S.C. will benefit Golden Harvest Food Bank, a nonprofit offering programs and services to meet the needs of neighbors struggling with hunger across a 24-county service area.
Round-up donations at Parker’s Kitchen locations at other cities and towns in South Carolina will benefit Lowcountry Food Bank, a nonprofit organization based in Charleston, S.C. that provides food to more than 200,000 individuals in need across 10 counties every year.
Recognized for its commitment to making a positive impact on the communities where it operates stores, Parker’s Kitchen has donated more than $30 million to a wide range of charitable causes, supporting education, reducing hunger, expanding access to healthcare and helping local veterans.

Parker’s Kitchen was named the Convenience Store Chain of the Year by Convenience Store Decisions, which is the industry’s highest honor, and has been honored by USA TODAY as a Top Workplace twice and been included on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America nine times.
