ShopRite of Byram “Packs the Pantry”

BYRAM — On Sept. 10, the ShopRite of Byram was the proud host of a “Pack the Pantry” event, where customers and ShopRite associates generously donated non-perishable items to the Sparta Ecumenical Food Pantry. The event was a huge success, and the community came together for a great cause that is close to home.
The Byram Township Police Department, the Byram Township Fire Department, the Lakeland Emergency Squad, and Donna Iozzino, a representative from the Food Pantry were all in attendance to create awareness of hunger throughout our community. Because of the generous donations, over $125 was collected, 106 bags of groceries were donated, and the Sparta Ecumenical Food Pantry now has a cruiser-sized shopping order to fill its shelves.
RoNetco Supermarkets, with stores in Morris, Sussex and Warren counties, is committed to fighting hunger in the towns surrounding its stores. In 2015, the seven RoNetco ShopRite stores alone raised in excess of $94,400 for the ShopRite Partners in Caring program, a yearround hunger-fighting initiative that supports numerous local food pantries in its trading area.
