Donate Your Nickel: Bag Rebate Adds Nonprofits
When you bring your own shopping bag to our stores, we rebate you a nickel for every bag, every time you shop. This includes our reuseable plastic bags, our Northwest-themed organic cotton bags, or any bag you bring from home.
The nickel is deducted from your grocery total, but you can choose to make a donation to a local nonprofit organization. While a nickel doesn't seem like much, it can add up to big some change for worthy groups that are scrambling for funds these days.
We have added the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust (www.cdlandtrust.org) for our two Wenatchee stores, the Boys and Girls Cub of the Columbia Basin for Moses Lake Food Pavilion(www.bngclub.org) , and the Prosser Senior Center for Prosser Food Depot.
Earth Day is April 24th, but you can make a difference every day by bringing your own bag and making a donation to these organizations.
