October 15, 2025 • Greg's Groceries
“We can’t wait for the next one!” That was the feeling in the air as the Raleigh Police Department and a team of local volunteers came together on a brisk morning to pack 500 boxes of hope — Greg’s Groceries. The event took place at a local Walmart, where smiles, laughter, and teamwork filled the parking lot as officers and community members worked side by side.
This event marked an exciting milestone: Raleigh is the newest community to join the Greg’s Groceries family. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm, the energy was high, and the commitment to making a difference was undeniable. Raleigh aimed big for their very first event — and they absolutely delivered.
During all the activity, one quiet moment captured what Greg’s Groceries is all about. A man in need stopped by and was able to receive a box of food right then and there. His gratitude was deep and heartfelt — a powerful reminder that these boxes don’t just feed people; they carry hope, dignity, and care.
This incredible day wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing partners at Walmart for stepping up to help make this happen and AT&T, whose continued support helps make moments like this possible in communities across the Carolinas.
We would also like to thank Raleigh Chief of Police, Rico Boyce, Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell, Senior Communications Analyst LaToya Hughes, Assistant Director Amanda Rolle, Roxboro Police Chief David Hess, Amy Osborn with Walmart, the team at Walmart Store #2058, and SLED Special Agent for Community Relations, Eric Rosdail.
From Columbia to Raleigh and beyond, Greg’s Groceries continues to grow — one box, one partnership, and one act of kindness at a time.
