Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Community Bag Program?

The Community Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to support their community and environment by buying durable, reusable shopping bags. A portion of each purchase goes to a local non-profit in need. Donations from this program support groups focused on education, civic, health & wellness, hunger relief, military/veterans, and disaster relief organizations.

How are non-profits selected as beneficiaries each month?

Every month, leadership at each store location chooses a local non-profit to be the default beneficiary from the Community Bag Program. This organization’s name is posted on the reusable bag rack during their benefiting month. We encourage you to go into your selected store location(s) and introduce yourself to the store manager to see how you can work together to promote your benefiting month!
