Price Chopper Donates To Manchester Animal Rescue Center

MANCHESTER, CT — The Price Chopper/Market 32 supermarket chain this week announced that six charities throughout the chain’s "operating states" will each receive a $1,000 grant in observation of Giving Tuesday.

The gift has a touch of irony because the chain closed the store that served the immediate area — in Vernon — last spring.

Each charity was nominated by a Price Chopper/Market 32 staff member and selected based on the impact the charity has on its community.

In total, Price Chopper/Market 32 received 88 nominations across the chain’s six-state footprint. Out of those nominations, one charity was chosen from each state.

The 2019 Giving Tuesday grant recipients include Monkey’s Pack Animal Rescue of Manchester, which was nominated by Brittany Roche of the store in Oxford.

Monkey's Pack is a non-profit animal rescue, devoted to passionately advocating for homeless, medically complex, and senior animals.
