Shaw's To Donate $100K to The One Fund, Matching Customer Donations
Shaw's Supermarkets will donate $100,000 to The One Fund Boston, the foundation collecting money to support victims of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings.
The supermarket chain, which has a store at North Bevelry Plaza, also announced last week that it is launching an in-store fundraising campaign where customers can donate to The One Fund Boston. Shoppers will be able to contribute any amount to the fund during checkout and all proceeds will go directly to The One Fund.
In addition, Shaw's said it will match all shopper donations up to an additional $100,000, according to a press release from the store.
“As an organization that has been part of the New England and Boston communities for over 150 years, we understand how this tragedy has affected so many of our associates and customers,” Shaw's and Star Market President Shane Sampson said in a statement. “We not only wanted to support the survivors and families of this terrible tragedy, but also wanted to provide customers a way to contribute as well. Taking care of the communities we operate in is important to Shaw’s and Star Market, and we are proud to be able to join with our customers to support The One Fund Boston.”
