MANCHESTER, NH – As part of the Hannaford Helps Fight Hunger program, the New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of Catholic Charities NH, received a donation of $18,300 in food from Hannaford on May 26, consisting of shelf staple items including peanut butter, pasta, and oatmeal.
The Buy One, Give One promotion that triggered this company donation is a component of Hannaford Helps Fight Hunger, a partnership between the supermarket and its customers, aimed at providing food and monetary donations to local pantries and regional food banks. Food and monetary donations collected at Hannaford stores throughout the state are distributed to the agencies that feed the 1-in-9 men, women and children in need throughout New Hampshire.
“Hannaford is thankful that so many of our customers contribute to this vital program to help feed those in need,” said Eric Blom, Hannaford company spokesman. “Collectively, all of us can make a difference in making sure none of our neighbors go hungry.”
“We are truly grateful to Hannaford and their customers for continuing to partner with the New Hampshire Food Bank in our fight against hunger,” said Mel Gosselin, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Food Bank. “It is a 365 day a year team effort to support those in need in our state.”
