Recent Customer Donations Help Eradicate Childhood Hunger

Recent customer donations from Greenwich and Riverside ACME stores and the Old Greenwich Kings store to help eradicate childhood hunger by keeping food banks stocked and supporting meal distribution programs at schools totaled $3,000.

Greenwich Public Schools received 120 $25 gift cards from ACME Markets & Kings Food Markets Foundation’s Nourishing Neighbors Program and GENYouth, a school based national nonprofit.

On Tuesday, Greenwich Schools superintendent Dr. Toni Jones, presented those gift cards to Neighbor to Neighbor’s Executive Director, K. Brent Hill, at the Havemeyer Building on Greenwich Avenue to be used in their Summer Supplement Program.

Neighbor to Neighbor’s Summer Supplement Program is a 10-week program that serves more than 300 families with school-aged children during the summer months when school meals are not available.
