Atlantic Superstore continues to support the Volunteer Center to help fight hunger in the St. Stephen community

The Atlantic Superstore kicks offs its Extra Helping Spring National Food Drive in St. Stephen which runs until April 9. Spring is an important time of year for food banks as they often experience decreasing food.To help address this challenge Atlantic Superstore is calling on the St. Stephen community to add a little extra to their shopping carts and donating non-perishable food items or funds at check-out.

One hundred per cent of food donations and 70 per cent of cash donations will go directly to the Volunteer Center while 30 per cent of donated cash will support provincial programs benefiting food banks in that region. Our local food drive is part of a larger national food drive that includes all the banner stores of our parent company, Loblaw Companies Limited.
