Fairfield, Conn. -- The Connecticut Audubon Society in Fairfield has been selected as a beneficiary of the Stop & Shop Community Bag Program for the month of September. The Stop & Shop Community Bag Program, which launched in May 2019, is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work.
Connecticut Audubon was selected as the September beneficiary of the program by store leadership at the Stop & Shop located at 1160 Kings Highway Cut-Off in Fairfield. Connecticut Audubon will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at this location during September, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.
“Connecticut Audubon is grateful to be chosen as a beneficiary of Stop & Shop’s Community Bag program,” said Shari Greenblatt, Southwest Region Director of The Connecticut Audubon Society. “These bags purchased at the Kings Highway Stop & Shop are a double investment in preserving the environment—through reducing the use of disposable shopping bags, and supporting Connecticut Audubon’s conservation and environmental education programs that benefit the Fairfield community.”
