Providing Hope for Our Hungry Neighbors

Canton ShopRite

Each September all Shop Rite locations in six states band together in a friendly competition to raise money and “Provide Hope to the Hungry.” This competition is sponsored by ShopRite Partners in Caring and General Mills, and over $1 million was raised last Fall to support local food banks. The winning stores get to select two staff members to be featured on a special edition Cheerios box.

Bristol ShopRite

 

We had two winning stores in our area- the Bristol store, owned by the Tornaquindici Family; and the Canton store, owned by the Joseph Family. Last Friday a number of us from Foodshare were thrilled to be able to attend the celebrations at each of these locations. It was clear to me that the entire staff at these stores, including the winners- Nicole Krell, Krystal Laprise, Sarah Cheney and Dean Dingman; understand how they can make a difference in their community.

Thank you to all our ShopRite Partners!
