Pay It Forward: Success!

Pay It Forward Reusable Bag Program—Initial Effort

Thank you, Choices customers!

Through your efforts to use reusable shopping bags, from April through July, 8,560 paper bags were saved! Our cost savings, represented by the wooden tokens you received while checking out, went toward Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, Severson Dells Nature Center, and Roots & Wings Youth Leadership through Agriculture!

Non-profit organizations value every contribution. State and federal funding has been cut in many areas, so local giving is so important!

What do you think?

Could we make it 10,000 bags during our next 3 month period (August through October)?

Let’s do this!
