Supermarkets are good neighbors. Where there is a need in the community supermarkets are usually among the first to know, and often the fastest to respond. Whether it is an ongoing challenge, such as providing incentives for young people to stay in school, or an immediate crisis, like filling a food bank's empty shelves, supermarkets can be counted on to help.

Make A Difference Day, Saturday, Oct. 24
Millions of Americans are gearing up to help others on USA WEEKEND's Make A Difference Day, Saturday, Oct. 24. Sponsored in partnership with HandsOn Network and supported by Newman's Own, Make A Difference Day is the nation's largest day of volunteering, held each year on the fourth Saturday of October.
Now, more than ever, people need your help. Volunteering even just for one day can change a life. And Make A Difference Day is your chance. Volunteers nationwide are now planning thousands of projects. For project ideas, planning guides and other information, visit makeadifferenceday.com. Once you've finalized your plans, enter them into the Make A Difference Day DAYtaBANK to spread the word about your efforts.
Helping others on Make A Difference Day - and submitting an award entry at makeadifferenceday.com - gives your favorite charity a shot at receiving a $10,000 donation from Newman's Own and your project a chance to make national headlines in USA WEEKEND Magazine. Ten Make A Difference Day honorees will be chosen from the efforts that take place on Oct. 24 and featured in a special issue of USA WEEKEND in April 2010, when communities nationwide celebrate National Volunteer Week.
