The SHARE Fund Food Pantry has been selected by Hannaford store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Fight Hunger Bag Program for the month of August.

The Hannaford Fight Hunger Bag Program is an easy way for shoppers to give back to the local community and the environment as part of the regular shopping routine. Every $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag sends a $1 donation to a non-profit local to the Hannaford in which it was purchased.

As part of this ongoing program, every month at every Hannaford location a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of the reusable Fight Hunger Bag. SHARE Fund was selected as the August beneficiary by local store leadership at the store located at 26 Lilac Mall #2. SHARE Fund will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag purchased at this location in August.

"It's more important than ever to help reduce single-use plastic in the environment," said Skip Smith, Executive Director of SHARE Fund. "Non-profits at the local level, like us, are in need of community support. This program offers the perfect solution to multiple issues of the world today. We hope you'll support us in August by purchasing one - or two! - Fight Hunger Bags at our local Hannaford!"
