LEWISTON — Representatives from St. Mary’s Food Pantry recently presented an award to Sam’s Italian Foods on Sabattus Street in Lewiston for the staff’s outstanding effort in raising money to end hunger in Maine.
Every fall, St. Mary’s and Sam’s locations statewide partner in a campaign to sell “cornucopias” to customers for $1 a piece with proceeds to benefit local food pantries. The campaign is also a competition among the 13 Sam’s locations to see which store raises the most funds.
Sam’s Italian Foods has raised $4,225 statewide, and the Sabattus Street location won the competition with more than $1,000 raised.
In total, the Lewiston-Auburn Sam’s locations raised $3,000 for St. Mary’s Food Pantry.
