West Deptford ShopRite Employees to Appear on Cheerios Box

A pair of employees at the ShopRite in West Deptford will appear on a Cheerios box to honor their efforts in raising money for local food banks.

Store associates Sheri Hock, of Woodbury, and Judy Rowan, of Sewell, will be featured on 125,000 special-edition Cheerios boxes, to be unveiled during a ceremony at the West Deptford ShopRite on March 11 at 2 p.m.

ShopRite associates in stores across six states competed in the "ShopRite Partners In Caring Annual Cheerios Contest" last September. Associates collected donations at check-out and held various events, raising $1.24 million to support regional food banks in communities served by ShopRite stores.

Each of the winning stores was awarded with the selection of two ShopRite associates to be featured on a special-edition Cheerios box. Additionally the top five stores were awarded $3,000. All other winning stores were awarded $500. That money will be presented to local food pantries chosen by their store team.

West Deptford Mayor Raymond Chintall, Fire Inspector John Austin, Chief of Police Sam DiSimone, West Deptford Township Committee Members Sam Cianfarini, Jeff Hansem, and Jeffrey Maher, the Oasis Pantry, Greater Woodbury Municipal Food Bank and the Infant Jesus Parish are all scheduled to appear at the unveiling ceremony.
