AUBURN –SeniorsPlus, Western Maine’s designated agency on aging, has been selected again as a beneficiary of the Hannaford Cause Bag Program for the month of December. Launched in October 2015, the program is designed to support local hunger relief organizations through the sale of reusable “Fight Hunger” bags.
The Meals on Wheels program at SeniorsPlus, serving Androscoggin, Oxford and Franklin counties, was selected by Hannaford store leadership as the December 2017 beneficiary of the program at its 95 Spring St. store. For every reusable bag with the message “This bag has helped feed someone in need.” purchased at the Auburn Hannaford during the month of December, Meals on Wheels at SeniorsPlus will receive 25 cents.
PIC “This initiative tackles two issues — hunger and overuse of plastics that hurt the environment,” said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, president and CEO of SeniorsPlus. “We are pleased to have been selected for this charitable program, and we hope that as the holidays approach and people load up at Hannaford, they will consider purchasing these bags to use throughout the year. Great to buy as a holiday gift bag, too!”
SeniorsPlus has raised $498 so far through the Hannaford Cause Bag program. For more information, visit hannaford.bags4mycause.com or facebook.com/hhbagprogram
