Price Chopper stores in Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Ogdensburg, Gouverneur raising funds, food through Saturday, Dec. 12

Price Chopper Supermarkets in the North County are participating in “Check Out Hunger,” a campaign that raises dollars and food donations for food banks, pantries and the annual “Holiday Toy Drive.”

Price Chopper has stores in Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Ogdensburg and Gouverneur. The drive runs through Saturday, Dec. 12.

Check Out Hunger gives shoppers the opportunity to add a small monetary donation to their grocery bill (bringing the total to the next whole dollar amount) through the “Round Up Your Change” program and to purchase a set-price Food Package, a $5, $10 or $15 selection of pantry essentials.

The annual “Holiday Toy Drive,” in partnership with The Salvation Army, offers toy collection sites at every Price Chopper and Market 32 throughout the six-state service area, with the goal of distributing the toys to children in need within the communities where the toys were donated.

In addition to the toy drive, the Golub Foundation will make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeast New York for each toy donated.

Last year’s campaigns raised more than $47,000 and 29 tons of food that were distributed to a dozen area food banks and more than 2,600 toys that were distributed locally.
