Inserra Supermarkets Holds Annual 'Help Bag Hunger' Event

More
than 50 million people, or one in six Americans, are affected by hunger in the
United States. This includes more than one in five children, who do not have
adequate nourishment each and every day. To address hunger in local
communities, Inserra Supermarkets recently hosted its annual “Help Bag Hunger”
food collection and awareness event as part of ShopRite’s “Partners in Caring”
program. Cashiers at Inserra’s 22 ShopRite stores located throughout New Jersey
and New York banded together to bag non-perishable groceries throughout this
day-long event. Numerous local dignitaries and community volunteers also lent
their support.

“As
a family-owned grocer, the fight against hunger is an important cause where we
can make a significant impact,” said Lawrence Inserra, Jr., president and CEO
of Inserra Supermarkets. “Our associates are committed to ending hunger in our
communities, and are long-time supporters of the ‘Help Bag Hunger’ event. Every
item donated will make a significant difference in the number of community
members we can help.”

The Help Bag Hunger
event is held every September in conjunction with National Hunger Action Month,
when a nationwide network of food banks unites to urge individuals to take
action in their communities. Since the inception of ShopRite’s Partners in
Caring program in 1999, more than $29 million has been donated to 1,700 hunger
relief agencies in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
