The bag program, launched in April 2014, facilitates community support to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and \work.
HYS was picked by store leadership at the Damariscotta Hannaford. HYS will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag is bought at this location in January, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the giving tag attached to the bag.
