BAGS THAT GIVE BACK: AUSABLE RIVER ASSOCIATION SELECTED TO BENEFIT IN HANNAFORD COMMUNITY BAG PROGRAM
Lake Placid, NY — Reduce single-use plastic in the environment and give back to those in need in the local community, all while running routine weekly errands at the local Hannaford. The Ausable River Association has been selected by local Hannaford store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Community Bag Program for the month of July, 2022!
The Hannaford Community Bag Program is an easy way for shoppers to give back to the local community and the environment as part of the regular shopping routine. Every $2.50 reusable Community Bag sends a $1 donation to a non-profit local to the Hannaford in which it was purchased.
As part of this ongoing program, every month at every Hannaford location a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of the reusable Community Bag. The Ausable River Association was selected as the July 2022 beneficiary by local store leadership of the Hannaford at 45 Hadjis Way in Lake Placid. The Ausable River Association will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable Community Bag purchased at this location in July 2022.
“The last few years brought many changes and difficulties for nonprofits, especially community-based groups,” said Kelley Tucker, Executive Director of the Ausable River Association. “We are thrilled to be recipients of this innovative program that makes it possible for shoppers to give back to local nonprofits while reducing single-use plastic in the environment. We appreciate the community’s support in this important initiative to make a difference.”
