Help Us Fill a Glass with Hope!

For Hunger Action Month this September, Grand Union is teaming up with American Dairy Association North East to support Fill a Glass with Hope! All month long, shoppers can donate at checkout and help make milk available to children and families in need.

The Cortland Grand Union has chosen Seven Valleys Food Rescue to be their store's recipient and we are so appreciative of this opportunity. Please help us get milk into more homes this school year by donating during your next grocery run!

It's (almost) Fall, ya'll! As we embrace the new rhythms of the school year, changing weather, and waning daylight, it's a great time shop local!
