Supermarket Chain Donates Gift Cards To Needy Rockland Seniors

NEW CITY, NY — The Rockland County Office for the Aging got a special gift to distribute to some elderly Rockland residents. Its director, Tina Cardoza-Izquierdo, announced that 150 $10 gift cards from Inserra Supermarkets will go to the Office for the Aging’s clients who are most in need.

“I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Inserra Supermarkets for providing gift cards to the Office for the Aging’s Holiday Drive. Your generosity has once again made a true impact on our clients who need basic ingredients for holiday meals,” Cardoza-Izquierdo said in a press release.

The cards will go to clients of Rockland's Expanded In-Home Services for the Elderly Program and Senior Community Service Employment Program. Many of them face significant financial challenges and have great difficulty affording meaningful holiday meals, she said.

“More than 65 years ago, my grandparents opened their first store, and from that day on, my family has proudly supported our local communities. We are honored to work with organizations like yours and thank you for providing programs for our customers and neighbors,” said Larry Inserra Jr., Chairman and CEO of Inserra Supermarkets, Inc.

“It is great to see a local business like Inserra step up yet again to look out for those most in need here in Rockland,” said County Executive Ed Day. “These gift cards will make a positive difference in the lives of our seniors, and I hope this generosity inspires others locally to get involved and help make the world a brighter place this holiday season.”
