Breakthrough Magnet School and Stop & Shop Get it Done

Ms. Peruki's fifth-grade class at the Breakthrough Magnet School in Hartford has been studying healthy eating and budgeting this year, and they rounded out the year by working with Stop & Shop's Peapod service to purchase and donate food to Foodshare. This afternoon, the Peapod truck showed up and so did the kids, who unloaded all the food they had purchased with funding from Stop & Shop. They got the job done in record time, and then got a tour of the building and participated in a Hunger 101 role-playing exercise facilitated by Foodshare Ambassador Prasad Menon. We're very grateful to the class and to Stop & Shop for their continuing support of our work.
