Nearly 600 nationwide TCC stores collecting canned and boxed foods for local food banks

NORTH CANTON, Ohio (Dec. 13, 2016) – In 2015, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that 42.2 million people across the country lived in food-insecure households.

In an effort to fight hunger in the communities it serves this holiday season, Round Room LLC, the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Retailer, announces today that nearly 600 of its TCC stores will be collecting canned and boxed foods from customers and community members to provide to local partnering food banks.

Through its third annual “Stop Hunger” campaign, participating TCC stores across the U.S. are encouraging local families to bring in canned and boxed food items until Dec. 19. TCC has a goal of collecting 11 pounds of food across all of its participating stores, which will be delivered to hunger relief organizations nationwide on Monday, Dec. 19.

Participating store in North Canton is located at 4332 Tuscarawas St. W.

“With food insecurity on the rise, we are determined to help combat the issue in cities across the nation through our annual Stop Hunger campaign,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room, parent company of TCC. “With the help of local community members, we’re confident we can make a real difference for both the children and adults who need our support this holiday season and beyond.”

TCC makes ongoing investments in the communities in which it does business through its “Making Communities Better” cultural movement. In 2016, its efforts included donating $1 million to Riley Hospital for Children, providing 135,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children, giving supply packs to 5,000 teachers and contributing $100,000 for materials used to improve the environment.
