HARRISBURG, Pa. — In a release Tuesday, Ollie's Bargain Outlet announced they have donated $1 million dollars for Feeding America's COVID-19 Response Fund.

Shoppers who made a trip to Central Pennsylvania stores from April 16 - May 17 and donated to the campaign at checkout raised over $70,000 for the area.

“We believe in giving back and have longstanding relationships with several charities. We partnered with Feeding America when we saw an opportunity to help an immediate need in our communities,” said John Swygert, President and CEO of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. “We are so grateful to our customers, who donated upon checkout as they were shopping at Ollie’s.
