06/24/21 For Immediate Release: Stop & Shop to conduct fund-raiser for Marblehead animal shelter For the month of July 2021, every time the reusable $2.50 Community Bag is sold at the Stop & Shop store located at 450 Paradise Road, Swampscott, MA, Friends of Marblehead’s Abandoned Animals will receive a $1.00 donation. The Stop & Shop Community Bag and Giving Tag Program is designed to make it easy for Stop & Shop customers to contribute to their local community while supporting the environment. Every month, leadership at each store location chooses a local non-profit to be the default beneficiary from the Community Bag Program. Friends of Marblehead’s Abandoned Animals (FOMAA) is a non-profit organization established by volunteers that provides food, shelter, medical care, and good homes to the dozens of animals abandoned or brought to us each year. We are truly a no-kill shelter. Our operating expenses are underwritten by the generous donations of animal lovers and the fees we charge for adoption (which do not fully cover our costs, however). FOMAA was formed in 1993 for the sole purpose of raising funds for the care and placement of these abandoned animals. All money raised and goods donated are used for this purpose — we have no paid staff. FOMAA subsidizes the placement of animals in assisted living homes, with low income families and spay/neuter/release programs. =============================================================== Submitted by: Ron K.
