Team members from Price Rite will present a donation of $70,030 to representatives of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank from funds raised during the supermarket chain's annual Check-Out Hunger fundraising campaign.
From October - December 2016, Price Rite stores banded together to collect donations at checkout, raising over $250,000 for food banks across nine states to support the fight against hunger. The supermarket chain has raised over $1.4 million for the Check-Out Hunger initiative since 2002.
Additional donations of $1,500 and $1,000 will be presented to Rhode Island Community Food Bank on behalf of Price Rite of Providence and Price Rite of Warwick, respectively, for finishing as the two top-fundraising stores across all 64 Price Rite locations.
Fighting hunger is at the heart of Price Rite's charitable giving, and the supermarket chain contributes approximately $500,000 annually to local food banks and food pantries to benefit local families in need within the communities its stores serves. Through its support of local food banks, the annual Check-Out Hunger fundraising campaign and partnership with Feed The Children, Price Rite is a committed member of its local community.
Price Rite stores that contributed to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank donation include its Cranston, Johnston, Pawtucket, Providence, Warwick, and Woonsocket, RI; and Willimantic, CT locations.
