Pelham Manor Fairway to Take Donations for Tornado Victims

Starting Friday, Fairway Market customers will be able to aid the victims of last week’s tornados in the midwest and the south with donations of cash and water.

All of the nine of Fairway stores, including the store in Pelham, will offer customers the opportunity to make donations to tornado victims of $1, $3 or $5  at cash registers until March 17.  Customers will also be given the opportunity to donate cases of water.

Fairway will match the total donations collected up to $25,000 and use the money to send a truckload of water, canned goods and other non-perishables items to distribution centers in Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Illinois, Nebraska and Missouri.

“We take great pride in the fact that social responsibility is in our very DNA as a company,” said Charles Santoro, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Sterling Investment Partners and Chairman of Fairway.  “And our customers have the same generosity of spirit. So, this is a natural initiative for Fairway.  We’re honored to help bring hope to the people in small communities across the Midwest and parts of the South who are in such great need at this time.”

Fairway has locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut. For more information, go to www.fairwaymarket.com.
