Under the terms of the program, which ran from Sept. 5-Dec. 5, 2013, shoppers could raise funds for local schools by purchasing participating products. There were more than 900 eligible items including Hannaford brand items and products to choose from.
There was no limit to the amount that could be raised by each school. Each store awarded an additional $1,000 education grant to the one school registered through that store that raised the most funds. Pine Street Elementary School was the Graves’ Shop ‘n Save education grant winner.
“On behalf of Graves’ Shop ‘n Save, it gives me great pleasure to present this check to Pine Street Elementary School,” said Store Manager Donald Samiya. “Graves’ Shop ‘n Save is committed to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve and I can’t think of a better way to do so then by investing in our local schools.”
