The Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction Is thrilled to announce that Hannaford Supermarkets has committed to serving as the presenting sponsor for the sixth consecutive year for the 2025 Children’s Auction. 

“We are so grateful to Hannaford and the support they have offered us for decades in the form of auction items, employee volunteers and now six generous years as our presenting sponsor,” said Jennifer Kelley, executive director of the Children’s Auction. “Hannaford has proven time and time again that they are committed to our community and the families who call it home.”

Larry Poliquin, store manager in Bristol, is a longtime auction volunteer who has been heading up teams to assist the organization for 25 years, as long as he has been a Hannaford store manager.

“Hannaford believes in the power of giving back to the communities it serves,” Poliquin said. “We are proud to support the Lakes Region and happy to partner with and bolster the Children’s Auction and other great organizations like it. We hope to continue to impact the region in our primary focus areas: hunger relief, health and wellness, and child development and families.”
