“We are extremely grateful to be chosen by Hannaford and would like to take a moment to thank people in advance for purchasing the good karma reusable bags. They can feel good knowing that all donations will help secure safe affordable housing for the families and individuals we work with,” said Homeless Prevention Center Executive Director Deborah Hall.
