To celebrate, the grocery chain teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club and other charities and organizations to help families in need. They hosted an event on the Big E Fairgrounds where families received a 25-pound box of food, a 15-pound box of personal care items, backpacks filled with school supplies, Price Rite gift cards, and other assorted items.
Kevin McDonnell, Price Rite's president, told 22News he is grateful to be able to give back.
'It's very satisfying to me to be able to operate stores in these diverse areas and be able to provide wholesome food to our customers, but then to be able to give back a little bit to the communities and help the kids in particular,' McDonnel said
Hunger remains a serious issue in many communities, with one in five children in the U.S. experiencing food insecurity.
