The TJ Maxx celebrated the grand opening of its new store in Pineville by giving back to the community with a $10,000 donation to the Food Bank of Central Louisiana.

Food bank officials said the donation will help provide meals to families experiencing food insecurity across the organization’s 11-parish service area in Central Louisiana.

The contribution comes as part of the retailer’s celebration of its new location and its introduction to the Pineville community. Food Bank leaders expressed gratitude for the support, noting that partnerships with local businesses play an important role in helping the organization continue its mission of fighting hunger in the region.
