Welcome to the 15th annual Hannaford Kidz Expo

Hannaford Supermarkets is thrilled to return as the title sponsor of the 15 th annual Hannaford Kidz Expo at the Empire State Plaza. The annual event has certainly become a mustattend day for families and children throughout the greater Capital Region.

Hannaford has been working with the New York State Office of General Services to put together an exciting day of entertainment and education to mark the 15 th edition of this outstanding event – which is part of our commitment to connecting with shoppers outside the grocery aisle.

At Hannaford, we strongly believe that our business goes far beyond selling products and that a key component of being ‘greater than groceries’ is investing into the communities we serve. As a community contributor, we have a longstanding commitment to aiding hunger relief in our neighborhoods. This effort often begins at school, where hunger directly impacts a student’s ability to learn, grow and succeed.

This is why we have launched the Hannaford Fuel Kids at School program, which is designed to directly address food insecurity and improve access to fresh and healthy food in schools by committing $1 million to food banks, including

nearly $300,000 to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.

The donation will allow the Regional Food Bank to establish food pantries

in an estimated 33 schools throughout New York State. The in-school pantries are dedicated spaces where students can select food they enjoy based on their preferences and cooking abilities to provide nourishment bwoth during and after the school day. It is our hope that the pantries will serve as a vital and convenient resource to students and families in need while also increasing access to healthy and nutritious food.

These food pantries will fulfill a critical need for students and their families. All of us at Hannaford are honored to support the Regional Food Bank’s efforts through this program and donation as we reaffirm our commitment to nourishing our communities, one child at a time.

We invite you to visit us at the Hannaford Kidz Expo, where you and your family can capture your memories of this fun-filled day in our all-new photo booth. Feel free to ask any of our volunteers about all the ways that Hannaford is greater than groceries during your visit.

We’re putting our energy behind the community.

National Grid values and respects the strength and diversity of our employees, customers and communities. And we take pride in our employees who volunteer their time and talents to enrich the places where we live, work and play.
