Thank You Stop & Shop

In the past year, customers of the Newman Avenue Stop & Shop purchased hundreds of boxes of groceries ar $10.00 each for donation to Doorways, and all proceeds were donated by the Stop & Shop foundation. In addition, Stop & Shop makes weekly donations of meat and baked goods to the food pantry. Doorways is very thankful to the store, its employees and its patrons for their generous support.

Stop & Shop’s corporate foundation donated over $4,000 to the Doorways food pantry from proceeds of their “Food for Friends” campaign. Each time a Stop & Shop customer purchased a prepackaged box of food for $10, the box of food was donated directly to the local Doorways food pantry; then 100% of the sales price was donated to combat hunger, with the money split between the Boston Food Bank and the local food pantry. It is part of Stop & Shop’s commitment to local communities and local food banks.
