Best Market Best Wishes Campaign – Join In

St. Francis in coordination with East Meadow Kiwanis will be distributing food collected through Best Market’s Best wishes Program. Locally owned and operated, Best Market is working with us to support those in need in our community.

The goal of the Best Wishes program is to help needy families in our community. The Best Market Team will prepare bags of Best Yet products. The bags will then be for customers in store to purchase to donate to the Best Wishes program.

The bags we will be receiving for distribution include one each of Best Yet Mac & Cheese Diner, Best Yet Peanut Butter, Best Yet Tomato Beans, and Best Yet Chunk Chicken.

The program will run for three weeks, October 31st through November 19th.
