The 10th annual "Bag Hunger" national Partners in Time project in 2007 resulted in donations of 10.4 million pounds of food - 59 percent more than 2006. The campaign benefited many affiliates of America's Second Harvest, the largest hunger-relief charity in the United States. From chili cookoffs to brown-bag lunch assembly, creative events and generous gifts of time take place for this favorite project, specifically timed for summer when children cannot access school-based meals.

Divisional chief financial officers take on the role of "chief food officers" for Bag Hunger, challenging prior year contributions. For 2007, Macy's East, Macy's West, Macy's Credit and Customer Services and Macy's Corporate Marketing led the company, and the Macy's Foundation gave $10,000 to their local charity partners. Since Bag Hunger debuted in 1998, volunteers have collected food and equivalent donations totaling 30.1 million pounds, providing nearly 47 million meals for hungry families nationwide.
