BANGOR, Maine — Maine- Hannaford Shoppers can now support local schools in Maine and all throughout New England by purchasing select in-store items that will benefit the school of your choice.

Now through November 30, shoppers can help local schools meet their fundraising goals and help expand the opportunities available for students. Money raised will include things like new computers, musical instruments, sports gear, field trips and playground equipment.
