Fair Lawn Police Volunteer To Bag Groceries At ShopRite

FAIR LAWN, N.J. — Police officers volunteered their time to bag groceries for customers at ShopRite Thursday as part of the company's Help Bag Hunger initiative.

Inserra Supermarkets, ShopRite's parent company, has run the charitable effort since 1999. Store associates solicit monetary donations from customers while volunteers bag their groceries.

Help Bag Hunger is part of ShopRite's Partners in Caring effort. Since its inception in 1999, the campaign has raised $40 million for more than 1,700 charities, especially food banks.
