Zallie Family Markets Celebrates Major Wins in Fight Against Hunger

Community spirit was on full display, as Zallie Family Markets announced the results of their annual ShopRite Partners In Caring fundraising campaign. Two local stores in South Jersey, ShopRite of Chews Landing and ShopRite of Medford, emerged as regional leaders, raising substantial funds to combat food insecurity and earning a spot on a legendary piece of real estate: the Cheerios box.
 
The ShopRite of Chews Landing delivered a powerhouse performance, finishing in fourth place company-wide. Through creative in-store fundraising events and the generous donations of local shoppers, the team raised a staggering $23,175 to fight against hunger.
 
In a celebration of the store’s commitment to the local community, Zallie Family Markets donated $7,500 of those funds to The Unforgotten Haven in Blackwood, NJ. This donation will provide a significant boost to the non-profit’s mission of providing food and essential supplies to neighbors in need.
 
The highlight of the Partners In Caring program is the unveiling of the limited-edition Cheerios box, which features the photos of the most dedicated team members from winning stores. This year, Chews Landing is represented by four pinnacle team members: Bill Hunter, Elena Lunn, Donna Carroll and Laura Naphy.
 
Not far behind, the ShopRite of Medford proved its dedication to the cause by raising $18,125. The ShopRite of Medford has had the honor of making its place on the Cheerio’s box annually for 20 years with fundraising efforts that include summer hot dog and sausage sales, as well as thanks to their partnership with the Zallie Community Foundation’s Stamp Out Hunger 5k/10k. Their efforts resulted in a $5,000 donation to the Christian Caring Center, an organization that has been a lifeline for the Medford and Burlington County communities for decades.
 
Medford also saw two of its own honored for their tireless fundraising efforts. Their photos will grace the Cheerios boxes distributed throughout the region: Valerie Idell and Ryan Buscher.
 
The ShopRite Partners In Caring program is a year-round initiative that has donated over $60 million to local food banks since its inception. By turning a routine grocery trip into a charitable act, Zallie Family Markets continues to bridge the gap for families facing hunger in the South Jersey and Philadelphia region.
 
Our associates are the heart of this campaign. Their faces honored on the Cheerios box are a testament to the hours of hard work put in to ensure no one in our community goes to bed hungry. 
 
Join us in congratulating Paige Kirby and Aleigha Kusmanick on a fantastic achievement for winning the ShopRite Partners In Caring cake decorating contest, held in partnership with General Mills. Not only did they showcase incredible artistic talent, but they also helped support a great community cause with additional funds from the win contributing to the donations to the food banks.
