SOUTHINGTON, CT — Stop & Shop has announced that it has donated $2.45 million to schools throughout the Northeast as part of its annual A+ School Rewards Program.

In all, 3,013 schools in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island received funds from the 2018-2019 program year. The awards ranged from several hundred dollars to more than $18,000 per school.

Through the A+ School Rewards Program, Stop & Shop customers support their local schools with every purchase they make, both in-store and through their Peapod delivery or pickup orders.
