Bel Air Residents Appear on Front of Cheerios Box

Two Bel Air residents appear on a Special Edition Cheerios box this month as part of a "Get Connected"-themed fundraising campaign by ShopRite stores.

More than $522,000 was raised in six states as part of National Hunger Action month, which took place in September.

Linda Geiwitz and Todd MacPherson of Bel Air are two of the 81 ShopRite associates that will appear on the special edition collage cover, which is sold exclusively at ShopRite stores in March.

Gewitz and MacPherson were honored March 18 at their home store of Jacksonville. They were selected as representatives by their colleagues.

“The heart of ShopRite Partners In Caring truly lies in the dedication and generous spirit of our network of hunger-fighting heroes,” said Christine Magyarits, spokesperson for ShopRite Partners In Caring. “This network not only includes our store associates but also our vendor partners, local hunger-fighting charities, food banks and our loyal ShopRite customers.  Each year, these groups ‘Get Connected,’ helping to raise funds and hope for those in need and bringing us one step closer to an end to hunger in our time.”

As the top fundraiser in Maryland, the ShopRite of Jacksonville ShopRite was also awarded $1,000 to donate to a hunger charity of its choice.
