This year, ShopRite and General Mills are proud to celebrate a year unlike any other in the effort to fight hunger through the ShopRite Partner in Caring program. This past September, all 285 stores participated in a 5-week fundraising campaign. The campaign encouraged customers to scan 1, 3 or 5 dollars at the register or self-check. On March 23, the ShopRite Rio Grande store recognized their essential heroes and associates while celebrating their accomplishments in raising $6043.00 to fight hunger. ShopRite stores overall raised over $1 million dollars during the campaign period. ShopRite Rio Grande was awarded $500 to present to a charity of their choice which they donated this money to Cape May Community Food Closet. For ShopRite of Rio Grande, being among the top winning stores is a longstanding tradition. In honor of this recognition, Bernadette Eichenhofer, Customer Service Manager, and Julia Burrows, Customer Service Director, were featured on a special-edition Cheerios box.
