Help Yourself Shelf (HYS) food pantry in Wiscasset has been picked as a beneficiary of the Hannaford Helps Reusable Bag Program for January 2021.

The bag program, launched in April 2014, facilitates community support to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and \work.

HYS was picked by store leadership at the Damariscotta Hannaford. HYS will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag is bought at this location in January, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the giving tag attached to the bag.

HYS is a nonprofit based at St. Philip’s Church, 12 Hodge St. Founded over 40 years ago, HYS has helped the food insecure who need a hand up, not a hand out.
