Stop & Shop and Island Harvest Kick Off Holiday Turkey Collection

Island Harvest and Stop & Shop are joining forces in Island Harvest’s annual Turkey and Trimmings Collection Campaign, which runs between November 1 and December 30 and will help provide critical food support to nearly 300,000 Long Islanders. 

Stop & Shop customers can purchase a pre-packaged bag of all the trimmings necessary to complement a traditional holiday dinner.

The bag of trimmings consists of Stop & Shop brand stuffing mix, canned corn, cranberry sauce, fruit cocktail, turkey gravy and cut yams. Pick up a pre-packaged bag of trimmings at any Long Island Stop & Shop store for $7.50, pay for it at the register and drop the bag in the collection box on your way out. A portion of the proceeds benefits Island Harvest.

There are Stop & Shop stores in Ronkonkoma, Farmingville and Holbrook.

To complete the holiday meal, Stop & Shop is donating 1,700 turkeys to Long Island’s food banks as part of its Turkey Express program that will deliver nearly 20,000 turkeys to hunger relief organizations in the tri-state area.

According to Stop & Shop, they are committed to fighting hunger through the Food for Friends campaign, which will raise over $2 million this year for more than 300 local hunger relief organizations through the six states in which it operates.
