ShopRite has been working to help hurricane victims in Puerto Rico, Florida and Texas.

This week, the supermarket chain partnered with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey to load a United Airlines jet with more than 50 pallets of bottled water to help people in Puerto Rico.

In a news release, ShopRite noted that one of the lessons from 9/11 was "to work with authorities to understand the full scope of need before deploying resources to the affected region."

ShopRite also has sent a trailer of food and toiletries to the Houston Food Bank.
