They've partnered with other businesses to make these food bags.
Inside there are items like corn, green beans, macaroni, stuffing, pie, and even a whole turkey.
The owners of this Piggly Wiggly partnered with the business Fancy Snacks Charcuterie.
Turkey stuffing
They had a drive-thru giveaway where they fed more than 350 families.
The owners here tell FOX6 other businesses also donated items or time to fill the bags.
They say after the government shutdown uncertainty over FoodShare benefits, plus rising food costs, they wanted to do their part.
Pumpkin pie
What they're saying:
"I can't imagine being in that predicament. If I know that I can help others, we have to do it and the fact that we can get others in the community to open their eyes and see things that maybe they don't normally see and say 'I would love to help in any way," said Brenda Lois, owner of the Lois Family Piggly Wiggly.
