Meanwhile, The Arc of York County recently presented its Ernest R. Weiss Award to Rutter's Farm Stores for "outstanding fundraising and philanthropy benefiting people with intellectual disabilities."
Since 2000, coin canisters placed in Rutter's stores have collected more than $40,000 for The Arc.
Begun in 1952, The Arc is dedicated to improving the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and their families in York County.
Rutter's charitable giving has topped $2 million over the past seven years, the company said. Almost all of the contributions benefit children's programs in the communities where Rutter's operates.
Family-owned and third-generation managed, the Rutter's companies comprise Rutter's Farm Stores, Rutter's Dairy and M&G Realty, a real estate development company. York-based Rutter's operates 54 convenience stores in Pennsylvania.
