Under the terms of the program that ran from September 2 to December 1, shoppers could raise funds for local schools by purchasing certain products at Graves’.

“On Behalf of Graves’ Shop ‘N Save and Hannaford, it gives me great pleasure to present this check to Fort Fairfield Elementary School,” Samiya said. “Graves’ Shop ‘N Save is committed to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve and I can’t think of a better way to do so then by investing in our local schools.”
