Together
we make
it big

Small acts make a big impact.

Giving back isn’t something we do quietly. It’s something we do loudly and proudly in every community we serve.

And we don’t do it alone.

Every time you shop with us or support one of our community programs, you’re helping make a real difference for people in our neighborhood.

And when we all pitch in – customers, employees, local partners – that’s how we make it big.

Local student farmers with fresh produce

Together, We Build Stronger Tomorrows

Proud to power tomorrow's possibilities.

Every year, we help local students go after big goals with our Big Y Scholarship Program and bring local organic produce to our communities with the help of UMass Student Farmers. We care about our environment and investing in the next generation—because a strong future for them means a stronger future for us.

Together, We Support Local Wellness

Proud to aid the causes that strengthen our communities.

Whether it’s raising money for breast cancer research or providing free nutrition events, we’re proud to stand behind causes that support the health and wellbeing of our communities. If it matters to the people around us, it matters to us too.

Canned goods supporting local food banks

Together, We Feed Families

Because a good meal should never be out of reach.

We work with local food banks and pantries to get meals to families who need them throughout the year. During the holidays, our annual Sack Hunger program helps give the gift of food because no one should go hungry in the towns we call home.

Whether you need assistance or are looking for ways to help, learn more about how to support or connect with your local food banks.

Community Donations

Big Y is committed to making a difference in the communities in which we work and live. With every purchase of a Community Giving Bag, we’re empowering you to direct a $1 donation to a local non-profit working diligently to better the communities we all call home. Creating healthy and thriving communities — that is our mission.
