Throughout the month of October Big Y Supermarkets donated to 32 local breast cancer support groups throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut through the "Partners of Hope" program. 

Big Y donated a portion of the proceeds from both floral and produce departments as well as 5 cents for each Big Y, Top Care, Full Circle, Simply Done, Paws Happy Life, Pure Harmony, @Ease, Tippy Toes and Culinary Tours brand products (excluding random weight items) from October 4-10. The butcher shops also donated 10 cents from every pound of All Natural Angus Beef and Big Y Smart Chicken sold. In addition, Big Y pharmacy and wellness centers donated $5 for evey flu shot given. 

“Breast cancer affects thousands of women and many men each year. We hope that this initiative will not only promote breast cancer awareness but also save lives through early detection and care,” said Big Y CEO Donald D’Amour.
