In 2021, Giant Food celebrates 85 years as a community grocery store. Since opening its first location on Georgia Ave. in Washington, DC in 1936, Giant has been an integral part of our community. Giant is headquartered in Landover, MD and operates 164 supermarkets in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.
Since 1983, Giant Food has been by CCF’s side, raising over $20M to support pediatric cancer research and vital programs that support our youngest patients. It is our honor to present Giant Food and Ira Kress with the 2021 Gift of Life Award.
Mark Viviano acted as Emcee for the Gala.
In addition to Giant Food, our 2021 Honorees include:
