Market 32 and Price Chopper Launch Spring Drive to Support Local Food Pantries

Market 32 and Price Chopper invite guests across their footprint to help support local food pantries and families in need through a convenient, in-store food drive. From March 15–April 4, guests can purchase a $10 pre-packed grocery bag filled with essential PICS brand items that food pantries consistently identify as most needed. Each bag includes a 16-ounce box of elbow macaroni, a 16-ounce jar of peanut butter, a 10.5-ounce can of chicken noodle soup, a 5-ounce can of tuna, a 15.5-ounce can of kidney beans, a 15.25-ounce can of white corn, and a 5-ounce can of chunk chicken.

Each Market 32 and Price Chopper store will donate the collected bags to a local food pantry serving its community. Store teams coordinate with neighborhood organizations to ensure the food stays local and reaches families in need as quickly as possible. The pre-packed bags will be displayed in the front end of each store, with signage identifying the benefiting pantry.

“Food pantries continue to experience elevated demand as families balance rising costs and everyday expenses,” said Pam Cerrone, director of community relations for Market 32 and Price Chopper. “Our guests are incredibly generous, and this program makes it easy for them to help neighbors who may be struggling to put food on the table.”

Through initiatives like this food drive, Market 32 and Price Chopper continue their commitment to strengthening local communities and ensuring families have access to nutritious, reliable food.
