Fill the Bus Campaign raises money for local food bank
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Wegmans is stepping up to combat summertime hunger among students, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals when school is out. Wegmans is partnering with the Food Bank of the Southern Tier for its annual Fill the Bus Campaign. From now until June 18, Wegmans customers are invited to donate between $2 and $5 at the register when making their purchases. These donations help fund food baskets for students and families who miss out on school meals during the summer. Wegmans' Merchandizing Area Manager Rusty Dewing says that the organization is thrilled to be able to lend a helping hand. 'I've seen bags delivered to families that need them, and it's very touching and humbling to see that happen, and it actually just brings so much joy to know that people are getting some of the things that they may need,' said Dewing. Outside of the store, a parked school bus serves as a symbol, promoting the cause and inspiring shoppers to donate. For over 45 years, Wegmans has donated 36.6 million pounds of food to Food Banks in the areas that it serves.

Trader Joe's plans to open in Matthews
Trader Joe's plans to open a fourth Charlotte-area store in Matthews. Why it matters: Cause people go nuts for Trader Joe's. Just try to move your cart around the midtown store on a Sunday, and you'll understand. What they're saying: A Trader Joe's spokesperson confirmed to Axios Charlotte that it does plan to open a store in Matthews but could not yet share a location or timeline. However, signs point to the Matthews Gateway development off East John Street as the location. Driving the news: Monday night, the Matthews town board considered approving some architectural changes for the development, where "we still expect to be a Trader Joe's," planning staff said. Last July, the board reviewed designs for a grocery store resembling a Trader Joe's. The submission included renderings for a building that used the grocer's unique font but only spelled "Grocery Store." Zoom out: Trader Joe's joins a list of other local, highly anticipated grocery store announcements, from Wegmans' first Charlotte location (opening late 2026) to Sprouts in NoDa (August).
