Giant, Salv. Army make amends after holiday charity drive

After a somewhat contentious holiday season, Giant Food and the Salvation Army National Capital Area Command are looking to make amends.

Giant has presented the Salvation Army with a $75,000 check in recognition of the grocery chain's 75th anniversary in business in the Washington area.

The supermarket chain came under some criticism from many of its customers during the holidays because of a policy change regarding solicitations outside its stores.
