The Arc of Warren County received a $4,000 grant from ShopRite’s Partners in Caring Program to support food orders at the NORWESCAP Food Bank.   The grants were made by ShopRite’s RoNetco Supermarkets ($1,000) and ShopRite’s Village Supermarkets ($3,000).

“This grant will make a positive impact on the agency,” says John Whitehead, CEO of The Arc of Warren County.  “It allows us to utilize funds elsewhere by providing us with $4,000 worth of food for our residents. I would like to specifically thank RoNetco Supermarkets, Village Supermarkets, and NORWESCAP for making this opportunity possible.”

ShopRite Partners in Caring was established in 1999 as a community-based, hunger fighting initiative that supports more than 2,200 charities. Since its founding, ShopRite Partners in Caring has donated more than $48 million to soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless shelters, senior citizen centers, and other organizations that are on the front lines of fighting hunger. 

“ShopRite takes seriously its responsibility to help in the fight against hunger and support communities in need,” said Robert Zuehlke, Manager of Corporate Social Responsibility for ShopRite. “It’s our pleasure to support The Arc of Warren County as they help serve and improve the lives of people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.”
