Shoprite Partners in Caring: Helping Hunger with Elizabeth and General Mills
I have to say I am a fan of Shoprite. Where my home is located in Cape May County it’s a little ways of a trek to go shopping there but for large orders it is well worth the trip. More worth the trip for those big events that I like to plan and holiday hosted events.
I am a hostess and I love to serve up a great meal. In these time of economic struggles my events are being thrown few and far between. I am sure that everyone is feeling the crunch? Are you?
Sadly, many are feeling the effects of a downed economy and hunger is a reality. Over 36 million Americans, 12 million children and 2 million seniors are dealing with empty tummy’s. Hunger is a national and a local problem. But there is a way that you can help and all it requires is a simple comment in this post!
ShopRite Partners in Caring, a community-based hunger fighting initiative started in 1999, has teamed up with General Mills for the “Blog it Forward to Fight Hunger” campaign to recruit bloggers to help spread awareness and encourage their readers to get active. For our efforts, General Mills and ShopRite will donate one box of cereal to a food bank in ShopRite’s trading area for the first 30 people who comment on THIS POST. That is 30 boxes of cereal feeding 30 people or families. How simple is that!
Leave a comment=1 box just donated.
P.s. Did you know every time a customer purchases products with the ShopRite Partners In Caring shelf tag, they support the brands that support the fight against hunger. At ShopRite customers are not just filling a grocery bag; they are helping to fill empty bowls for thousands of hungry families in your community.
Please Comment and Help me get this party started!
Elizabeth Norton has a heart for enjoying every moment that has been given. With her own 2 little boys and her husband, she has lots to celebrate. She has a place in her heart for foster care reform. 
Happy to help! See you on the box!

Great Job guys. We have a community food bank at work and I know how much food is needed to keep the shelves stocked. So good luck and I love when stores in the community actually do something for the community. That is why I love shopping at shoprite..Plus we get such great deals and Elizabeth you are a wonderful role model for the people in this community.
Hi I am Diane and I run a Pantry in Lower Township. At St. Barnabas Church on Bates Ave. in the Villas we order all our FEMA food from Shop Rite in Rio and we love to work with Sam. I hope you get the word out it will help us all.
What a terrific idea!! What a wonderful way to show that you care for those who are hungry! Best wishes and congratulations for all you are doing!
Thank you for doing all that you do in the community to support the St. Barnabas Cares Food Pantry (located at 13 W. Bates Avenue, Villas) and other pantries in Cape May County. And thank you for this initiative with GM.
This is a great idea – hope everyone gets on the band wagon. Food banks in the Villas and Lower Township will be greatful
