AG New England, Shurefine Team for Food Drive
PEMBROKE, N.H. -- AG New England and Shurfine Foods have joined together for an initiative to benefit the food pantry run by the Concord, N.H.-based Friends of Forgotten Children, which helps displaced families with shelter, food, and clothing.
"Our employees have been donating nonperishable food items from home, as well as making donations to buy Shurfine products," said AG New England customer service manager Cindy Smith in a statement. "The donations have been matched by Shurfine and AG New England. This effort has been so popular, we were asked to extend the deadline."

Added AG New England president and c.e.o. Michael Bourgoine, "Our company, our employees, and our friends at Shurfine are very proud to have made a donation worth nearly $3,000, which allowed us to purchase 200 cases of nonperishable food items
for the Friends of Forgotten Children's food pantry."
Associated Grocers of New England, owned entirely by independent retail grocers as members of a cooperative and the largest retailer-owned wholesale grocery distribution center in New England, serves independent retail food stores in Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and the upstate New York/Albany area.
