Asda customers and staff nominate three local community projects per store each quarter, and the group with the most online votes wins a £500 donation, with the second and third place groups each receiving £200.
So far this year there have been two rounds of voting in the Portlethen store.
Asda tell me that Hillside Parents Group and Stonehaven Amateur Swimming Club won the customer vote and were each awarded £500.
As runners-up, Portlethen Sports Club 2015s, Home-Start Kincardine, Rhythm Nation Dance Companies and Portlethen Town Association (for the Christmas lights) all received £200.
