Union County Freeholder Chairman Bruce H. Bergen and Freeholders Vernell Wright and Bette Jane Kowalski presented a resolution to Clark ShopRite Manager Dominic Romeo congratulating him and his staff on raising more than $14,000 during National Hunger Awareness Month last September for food banks in the communities that ShopRite serves. The Clark store won a friendly competition with other stores in a show of support for the hungry.
The Freeholders also presented certificates of recognition to ShopRite associates Lisa Housel and Carolanne Romeo for being “Hunger Fighting Heroes” for spearheading the store’s fundraising efforts. Photographs of the two associates are being featured on special edition boxes of Cheerios in ShopRite stores during March.
