Hannaford Supermarkets recently donated $19,000 in food to Good Shepherd Food Bank, as part of a hunger-relief campaign that produced more than $1 million in product and cash donations across five Northeast states, including $240,000 in Maine.
Hannaford Helps Fight Hunger took place in December and included a “you-buy-one, we-give-one” component; Hannaford pledged to donate identical products when customers purchased specific shelf-stable items. The food donated included 373 cases of pasta, 412 cases of pasta sauce, 448 cases of canned vegetables and 297 cases of cereal.
“Hannaford has once again shown its commitment to ending hunger in Maine,” said Kristen Miale, president of Good Shepherd Food Bank. “The company has partnered with the Food Bank for more than 30 years, and each year they do even more to ensure the Food Bank and our partner pantries and meal sites have the resources we need.”
