Community Leaders Joined Effort to Raise Hunger Awareness
WAYNE, N.J., Sept. 29, 2016 – In its continuing effort to give back to the community and raise awareness of food insecurity, Inserra Supermarkets hosted “Help Bag Hunger” events in each of its 22 stores, including ShopRite of Wayne. During the fundraiser, community leaders volunteered to bag groceries for customers as ShopRite of Wayne associates collected monetary donations. All proceeds are earmarked to aid in filling the shelves of food banks and charities.

“I commend ShopRite and its customers, once again for helping our community by donating to help our local food banks and those in need,” said Vergano.
Inserra Supermarkets, which is a member of the Wakefern Food Corp. cooperative, is widely acknowledged as a good corporate citizen, dedicated to improving the lives of local residents and those in need. Every September in recognition of National Hunger Awareness Month, the family-owned grocery chain participates in ShopRite Partners in Caring’s “Help Bag Hunger” events. Since the inception of ShopRite Partners in Caring in 1999, more than $40 million has been donated to 1,700+ charities in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Those include local food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, child care centers, battered women’s shelters, senior citizens programs, drug rehab centers, programs for the mentally and physically disabled, after-school programs and other organizations that aid those in need.
