Giant Food LLC will give away free generic drugs for the next three months.
The Landover-based grocer — which has 184 supermarkets and 164 pharmacies in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and D.C. — will launch the program from Jan. 2 through March 21. About 36 prescription generic antibiotics will be free.
“We wanted to provide something to help customers in these tough economic times,” said Robin Michel, executive vice president and general manager of Giant Food. “These are products that our customers may need more of during the colder months.”

Good campaign, something that people really need during this time of economic crisis. I hope other companies would follow through.
