Price Chopper food show donations

Price Chopper Supermarkets is a family operated chain of over 100 stores some of which are in greater Hartford.  Each year since 2006 they have held  management training seminars and workshops in Hartford for all store managers, together with a food show where their vendor partners can display new and existing product lines and field any questions store managers may have.

At the conclusion of each year’s food show/management training, all the food is donated to two food banks, one of whom is Foodshare.  Yesterday was the last day of the food show and teams of Foodshare volunteers & staff coupled with  Convention Center and Price Chopper staff worked together, side by side, to help collect the donated food so Foodshare can redistribute it quickly to our partner agencies.  Last night that translated into over 36,980 pounds of food or the equivalent of more than 30,800 additional meals.

Thank you Price Chopper for doing all that you did to help make this another successful partnership!
