SACO — Shaw’s personnel in Saco recently paused to hand over 153, $50 gift cards totaling $7,650 to help Saco Food Pantry assist families in need.
Around the holidays late last year, shoppers at the Shaw’s Saco location could opt to add a donation to the Saco Food Pantry as they went through the checkout line with their groceries. The program is called Nourishing Neighbors.
The donations contributed by shoppers this season exceeded last year’s total by $950.
Saco Food Pantry Director John White said the pantry will sweeten the pot further by adding another 100, $50 gift cards to assist families in need.
