Toms River Stop & Shop Managers Help Toms River Seniors Celebrate Valentine’s Day

As part of Stop & Shop’s better neighbor initiative, Stop & Shop associates and Store Managers, led by District Director Carlos Ramos, helped residents of the Spring Oak Assisted Living in Toms River celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The Stop & Shop team helped the residents decorate and paint hearts, and distributed cupcakes, cookies and hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries. They also danced with the residents and engaged them in games and trivia contests. They distributed prizes which included Stop & Shop gift cards, chocolate covered hearts and a four foot tall bear.
