Community Leaders Joined Effort to Raise Hunger Awareness
WEST NYACK, N.Y., 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 West Nyack. During the fundraiser, community leaders volunteered to bag groceries for customers as ShopRite of West Nyack associates collected monetary donations. All proceeds are earmarked to aid in filling the shelves of food banks and charities.
