March 7, 2024 - Nourishing Neighbors Donation
HUGE thank you to the Shaw's supermarket in Peterborough for raising money ($24.3K) for us again this year as part of their Nourishing Neighbors program which was run this past fall through the holiday season! The Peterborough Shaw's raised the most money of all the Shaw’s/Star stores in our region (all of New England except CT). Thank you to our wonderful community members for making this happen.
