August 4, 2021Bags That Give Back: Schenectady Community Ministries (SiCM) Selected to Benefit in Hannaford Reusable Bag Program Designed to Give Back in Local Communities
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 stores located at 5239 Western Turnpike, Guilderland NY and 1400 Altamont Avenue, Schenectady NY. Schenectady Community Ministries (SiCM) has been selected by local Hannaford store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Fight Hunger Bag for the month of August and October!
The Hannaford Fight Hunger Bag 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 Fight Hunger 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 Fight Hunger Bag. Schenectady Community Ministries (SiCM) was selected as the August and October beneficiary by local store leadership at the store located at 5239 Western Turnpike, Guilderland NY and 1400 Altamont Avenue, Schenectady NY. SiCM will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag purchased at this location in August and October.
“It’s more important than ever to help reduce single-use plastic in the environment,” said Amaury Tañón-Santos, Executive Director of SiCM. “Non-profits at the local level, like us, are in need of community support. This program offers the perfect solution to multiple issues of the world today. We hope you’ll support us in August and October by purchasing one – or two! – Fight Hunger Bag at our local Hannaford!”
