Lacey ShopRite Teams Up to Fight Hunger

You couldn't help but stop and marvel at all these boxes of Cheerios...created by the Lacey ShopRite Partners in Caring team and on display in the Lacey ShopRite during September's Hunger Action Month.   In celebration of 15 years of fighting hunger ShopRite teamed up with Cheerios to prove that local superheroes do exist and can be found in everyday people who make conscious decisions to help those in need. 
 
"ShopRite Partners In Caring is a year-round, community-based, hunger-fighting initiative" said ShopRite Manager and Cheerio Race Car designer Phil Fitzgerald as he presented the more than 300 boxes of Cheerios that it took to build this car to Lacey Food Bank Storemaster Dick Sansone. 
 
The "Goodness of Cheerios" and the generosity of the management and staff of the Lacey ShopRite is a welcome and sorely needed addition to our food pantry.   From the drop-off bins located in the store lobby to the on-going coffee shop donations and more, Lacey ShopRite is a Hometown Hero, making our job just a little bit easier!  Thanks ShopRite!!!
