Have you ever wondered what happens to unsold food at a grocery store once it reaches its sell-by date? How about that produce on the shelf that's no longer plump and shiny enough to tempt shoppers? Fortunately, in the case of Walmart and its subsidiary, Sam's Club - a warehouse retail chain known for food court items like pizza pretzels and brownie sundaes - not much of that food will go to waste.

Farmer Boys' Farmstand Pop-Up Parties collected over 2,150 pounds of food, providing 1,900+ meals to local food banks in California and Nevada through community efforts.

Costco does not mark down items as they near expiration but donates leftover food to food banks and shelters, helping to fight hunger and reduce waste.

"I think it's not just about a sweet treat. It's about the joy that comes with it and the sense of caring and belonging," said Martha Cross.

The Annual Pie Baking Contest marks a new tradition at St. Paul's Episcopal Church as it celebrates its 175th anniversary, inviting community participation in a fun, meaningful way.
