Proud moments at ShopRite of West Caldwell! 👏🥣

During National Hunger Action Month, ShopRite associates across six states came together to fight hunger — raising more than $1 million for local food banks through donations and in-store fundraising events.

We’re honored that our West Caldwell location was recognized as one of the winning stores! 🎉

Join us for our special “Band Together to End Hunger” celebration as we recognize the incredible efforts of our hunger-fighting team and honor Store Manager Scott Emerson and Grocery Manager Terrance Jones, who are featured on a Special-Edition Cheerios box available exclusively at ShopRite stores this April.
