ShopRite of Stroudsburg associates delivered 600 gallons of milk to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania, thanks to generous donations from the community. Through Feeding America, ShopRite joined the Second Harvest Food Bank in The Great American Milk Drive initiative to deliver fresh, nutrient-rich milk to local kids in need. Customers at the ShopRite of Stroudsburg were able to make a donation at checkout to help feed a child right here in our own community. More than 46 million Americans – including 12 million children – rely on Feeding America food banks each year. Milk is one of the most requested but least donated items at food banks, meaning children in need often miss out on the essential nutrients that milk supplies.
ShopRite of Stroudsburg is proud to participate in the Village Food Rescue Program. This program salvages food from our store that is safe for consumption but is ineligible for retail sale. Last year, we were able to donate over 1,100,000 pounds of food to local food pantries to help address their critical needs for fresh and healthy foods.
