On Wednesday Greenwich Public Schools received 335 $25 gift cards from ACME Markets & Kings Food Markets Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors Program and GENYouth, a school based national nonprofit. The donation was made possible by recent customer donations from Greenwich and Riverside ACME stores and Old Greenwich Kings store to help eradicate childhood hunger by keeping food banks stocked and supporting meal distribution programs.
The donations totaled $8,375.
Greenwich Public Schools superintendent Dr. Toni Jones presented the gift cards to Neighbor to Neighbor’s Executive Director, K. Brent Hill at the Havemeyer Building and they will be used in their Summer Supplement Program.
The Neighbor to Neighbor summer program runs 10 weeks and serves more than 300 families with school-aged children during the summer months when school meals are not available.
