(2,282 posts)"We Are Market Basket. We are setting up this fund to support the truck drivers and warehouse workers who are standing alongside us in our fight to save the company we love. Every penny we raise will go to helping these men who need financial support until we have ATD back in charge.
Please help us help them.
We Are Market Basket set this Go Fund Me page up for the truck drivers and warehouse workers earlier today and we should have put a statement on here saying that it was NOT a scam. During today's WGBH radio broadcast with Tom Trainor and Joe Schmidt, it was announced that such a site had been set up and this is it. We want to help these associates. Go Fund Me is a legitimate fundraising site and We Are Market Basket hope to use their site's resources for a good cause.
We are not asking our customers to help them out, though we would certainly be pleased if they did, but rather we are looking for associates to help fellow associates who are standing alongside each other.
You will see the name "Bob Smith" as being involved. We used that pseudonym when we set up this page on FB."
