Hannaford Cookbook to Benefit the CCFS
The Hannaford Supermarket located at 21A Essex Way in Essex Junction has chosen the Colchester Food Shelf as the latest nonprofit to benefit from the fresh Cookbook fundraiser! This means for the entire month of October, every time the fresh Cookbook is purchased at the Essex Way Hannaford, we receive $5!
The newly released fresh Cookbook contains the best fresh Magazine recipes that Hannaford customers have enjoyed for years. These recipes are perfect for everyday cooking and special occasions. The cookbook contains delicious recipes and a little “frosting on the cake” for local communities. Every fresh Cookbook purchased will generate a $5 donation to support the critical work of nonprofit organizations like ours. And by purchasing the cookbook, you will receive over $15 in valuable coupons for products you can find on Hannaford’s shelves.
This is truly a great opportunity for us and an easy way for you to show your support for the Colchester Food Shelf! And remember to spread the word – the more fresh Cookbooks purchased, the bigger the donation to the Colchester Food Shelf.
