Shoppers are invited to support local schools in their fundraising efforts with the purchase of select in-store items
Scarborough, ME – Hannaford Supermarkets is pleased to announce the return of its Hannaford Helps Schools program for its 20th season. Now through November 30, shoppers can help local schools meet fundraising goals by purchasing specially marked items in Hannaford stores.
“Educators in our local schools are already going above and beyond, and we’re proud that Hannaford Helps Schools can provide those educators additional support in expanding the opportunities available to students,” said Ericka Dodge, spokesperson for Hannaford.
Each store features more than 1,500 eligible products on its shelves. For every four participating products purchased, a shopper will receive three “School Dollars” that they can then donate in-store to the school of their choice. A list of participating schools can be found here.
Additionally, Hannaford will award $1,000 to the school that raises the most funds in each community.
Money raised will support needs designated by individual schools, including things like new computers, musical instruments, sports gear, field trips or playground equipment.
In its 20 years, Hannaford Helps Schools has raised more than $12 million for schools in New England and New York.
