In what has become a great example of corporate support for families in need during the holidays, Hannaford Supermarkets will once again provide its customers with an opportunity to give to The Salvation Army during the month of November at all its stores in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, through its cash register program.

Hannaford shoppers may ask the cashier to add a donation of either $2 or $5 to their total with that money going directly to the local Salvation Army to serve families in the community where the donation is made.

Funds raised through this effort allow The Salvation Army to provide holiday assistance, food, clothing, help with utility bills, and much more throughout the year.

"Hannaford is committed to supporting communities and those in need," said Eric Blom, Hannaford spokesman. "The November register donation program will make it easy for our customers to help local individuals who are struggling financially."

The Salvation Army is grateful for its ongoing relationship with Hannaford.
