Happy Easter from AGD

ByValerie Morgan

A sweet treat for the Ronald McDonald House!

Whenever a special occasion comes along and we see the excitement build in the eyes of our little ones, we can’t help but think of those who are not at home during these special times due to illness. To share in the beauty and magic of the Easter season, and to show the children of the Ronald McDonald House that we are thinking of them, the Atlantic Grocery Distributors team was so excited to drop off Easter baskets filled with goodies just in time for the holiday weekend.

From gummies to chocolate, toys and more, we hope these baskets made the children smile as big as we did when we were making them! We want to give a special shout out to our generous confectionary vendors who supplied us with so many yummy treats! And a thank you to Buyer – Analyst Pauline Quinlan for organizing this surprise and putting the baskets together, and Retail Purchasing Manager Perry Hayward for proudly playing Peter Cottontail and dropping off the baskets to the Ronald McDonald House in St. John’s.
