Post 165 benefits from Community Bag Program
Post 165 benefits from Community Bag Program
We are excited to share that, for the entire month of November, Billy Peterson Post 165 has been selected by Stop and Shop leadership to benefit from Stop & Shop’s Community Bag Program, which makes it easy for shoppers to contribute to their local community.
Whenever a $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at the Stop & Shop located at 943 Wolcott St, Waterbury CT in November, $1 will be donated to our Post. This is a great way to broaden awareness and help our cause.
Let’s get started! Share the news with friends and family. Call, send emails! The more people who purchase the Community Bag in November, the greater the donation we will receive!
THANK YOU!
