Stop & Shop employees present a check to the Doorways food pantry from proceeds of their “Food for Friends” campaign. Store patrons purchase a prepackaged box of food, which is donated directly to Doorways; the proceeds of the sales are then donated directly to the Boston Food Bank and Doorways. In the past 12 months, the Newman Avenue Stop & Shop’s “Food for Friends” campaign has donated hundreds of boxes of groceries and over $5,000 in monetary donations. 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.
