Canton Supermarket Employees Put On Cereal Box For Charity Work

CANTON, CT —When you end up on a cereal box, you know you've done good.

That reality is the case for two employees at the ShopRite grocery store in Canton, who were honored last Friday, April 4, for their work as part of the store's participation in the annual "ShopRite Partners in Caring Cheerios Contest" to combat food insecurity.

Canton's team, led by associates Drew Bylenski and Siena Clymer, helped raise more than $16,000 in the effort.

Proceeds from the fundraising campaign, which locally benefitted Gifts of Love in Avon and Connecticut Foodshare, are designed nationally to help food banks and nonprofits in the geographic areas of the stores.

According to ShopRite, the effort raises about $1.3 million for the cause annually across the nation.

As a partner in the campaign, Cheerios/General Mills issued commemorative boxes featuring the honorees at the store, in this case, Bylenski and Clymer.

Those boxes were unveiled Friday at a celebration at the ShopRite of Canton, which is located at 110 Albany Turnpike, Canton.
