Nutri-Lawn of St. Johns NFLD recently ran a 'Grocery Give-a-way' campaign. They had an online entry form that people could apply or nominate someone in need of a 'hand up'. "We have selected 2 families for the grocery give a way.  Both are single parents who were brought to tears when Kelly from VOCM cares called them" said Boyd Loveless, local franchise owner.
