ShopRite of Hamilton Market Place store associates, Lyn Stenger of Robbinsville and Bill Maikranz of Trenton (not pictured) were selected to appear on 125,000 special-edition Cheerios boxes in recognition of their store’s fundraising efforts during the annual ShopRite Partners In Caring Cheerios Contest, sponsored in partnership with General Mills.
ShopRite of Hamilton Market Place was recently selected as a winner of the Partners In Caring Cheerios Contest.
ShopRite associates across six states banded together last September in a friendly competition sponsored by ShopRite and General Mills. The theme of this year’s contest was “Providing Hope to the Hungry” and in this spirit, ShopRite associates collected donations at check-out and held various events, raising $1.27 million to support regional food banks in communities served by ShopRite stores.
Each of the winning stores was awarded with the selection of two ShopRite associates to be featured on a special-edition Cheerios box. These customized boxes, sold exclusively at ShopRite, will be unveiled at in-store celebrations during the month of March. Additionally, each winning store was awarded funds ($3,000 for the top 5 stores, and $500 for the remaining winning stores), that will be presented to local food pantries chosen by their store team.
Among this year’s winning stores is ShopRite of Hamilton Market Place, which selected William Maikranz of Trenton and Lynn Stenger of Robbinsville to be featured on 125,000 special-edition Cheerios boxes for their store’s commitment. The box was unveiled during a ceremony at the ShopRite of Market Place, located at 130 Marketplace Plaza, at 11:00 a.m. on March 17, 2015.
