SAVANNAH, Ga. (Nov. 5, 2025) – Parker’s Kitchen — an award-winning convenience store and food service company dedicated to making a transformative impact in the communities it serves — recently launched a new round-up campaign to fight hunger across Georgia and South Carolina. Parker’s Kitchen will match 25% of all customer donations to amplify the impact of the company’s latest round-up campaign, which will run through Saturday, February 28.
“At Parker’s Kitchen, we’re committed to doing our part to fight hunger in the communities we serve, particularly at a time when SNAP benefits are in limbo,” said Olivia Parker, Parker’s Kitchen Outreach and Communications Manager. “Our latest round-up campaign invites our customers to join us in strengthening the food safety net that supports children, seniors and families who are experiencing food insecurity. Together, we hope to exceed last year’s total and help put even more food on more tables across the region.”
Previous Parker’s Kitchen round-up campaigns have donated more than $1.5 million to help reduce hunger in communities across Georgia and South Carolina, including the company’s 25% match. Parker’s Kitchen round-up campaigns benefit a rotating series of nonprofit organizations through the Parker’s Community Fund, which supports area 501(c)3 organizations focused on supporting education, expanding access to healthcare, fighting hunger and helping injured local veterans.
For the current round-up campaign, donations at Parker’s Kitchen locations in all Georgia communities except Augusta 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 all 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.
Known for its longstanding commitment to charitable giving, Parker’s Kitchen is one of the most generous companies in the convenience store industry and in the Southeast.

The company also made a $5 million donation to Roper St. Francis to expand access to healthcare for uninsured and underinsured residents across the Charleston, S.C. metro area.
The Parker’s Community Fund, which was created in 2021 by a major donation from Parker’s Kitchen founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker, also provided critical funding for Union Mission to open the Parker House for Women in Savannah, Ga., the region’s first facility for women experiencing homelessness.
In addition, the company’s Fueling the Community charitable initiative donates a portion of gas sold at all Parker’s and Parker’s Kitchen locations on the first Wednesday of each month to area schools.
