Price Chopper / Market 32 has concluded its month-long initiative to help the American Red Cross, raising $67,796.24 for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief program.

Throughout September, the progressive supermarket chain partnered with the American Red Cross, asking customers to round up their checkout totals to the nearest dollar each time they shopped. Price Chopper / Market 32 also contributed $10,000 to the effort.
