Busch’s Fresh Food Market is part-
nering with local food banks to help
reduce child hunger with the annual
All aBout Children Food Drive, a
community-based fundraiser where
food and dollars raised in specific
cities stay in those cities. The drive
will run May 8-17 at all Busch’s loca-
tions.
“Since 2009, the ABC Food Drive
has raised over $850,000 in cash and
food donations to help local families
in need,” said Doug Busch, commu-
nity development director. “This is
a community-based effort, and we

wouldn’t be able to do it without the
generosity of our guests.”
Guests will have the opportu-
nity to donate five different ways,
which include $5 toward produce,
$10 in bakery, recycling slips, any
cash amount or a $10 ready-to-go
bag. Busch’s will also be hosting a
Grill Fest at all locations, 11 a.m. to
7:30 p.m., Friday, May 12, through
Sunday, May 14, in which 20 percent
of all sales, including ribs sales from
Busch’s new restaurant in Canton,
J.B.’s Smokehouse, will be donated
directly to the food drive. •
