Stop & Shop Customers Soup-er for Doorways

Doorways Food Pantry would like to thank the management, staff and especially the customers of the Newman Avenue Stop & Shop in north Seekonk for stepping up to fill a need. Doorways found itself with a shortage of soup and asked the management of Stop & Shop if they would hold a food donation event as they have in the past. Working as a team, the staff offered every customer the opportunity to purchase a can of soup on behalf of the Doorways Food Bank. The customers purchased 300 cans of soup in less than 24 hours! “They could easily have exceeded that total”, said Gerry McCabe of Doorways, “but we asked them to limit the soup drive to 300 cans on this occasion. The generosity of their customer base is astounding. Thank you.”
