October 14 – Price Rite Marketplace teamed up with Feed the Children, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester and a coalition of corporate sponsors to distribute food and essentials to nearly 400 local families on October 14. The event is part of Price Rite Marketplace’s annual “Feeding Minds & Bodies” campaign in partnership with Feed the Children, which aims to combat food insecurity in communities across the Northeast.

Each family, pre-identified by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester, received a 25-lb box of food, one 15-lb box of personal care items, backpacks filled with school supplies and Price Rite Marketplace gift cards.

Representatives were joined by Malik Evans, Mayor of Rochester, Demond Meeks, Assemblymember, Assembly District 137, Joe Leathersich, Director of Advocacy, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and Dwayne Mahoney, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Club of Rochester.
