See Mason Jars Around Town? It's For A Good Cause

MARBLEHEAD, MA – Notice anything different at your local business lately? If it's in Marblehead, Salem, or Swampscott, it may be part of SPUR's campaign to raise money for enrichment programs, seed grants, and volunteer organization.

SPUR – a registered nonprofit established to inspire good deeds with a focus on Marblehead, Swampscott, Salem, and Lynn – is collecting spare change at some local businesses to support the organization. Customers can either round up their purchase and the business will donate the remainder, or shoppers can donate at will.

"It is important to me to support SPUR because SPUR's core values inspire me, from filling containers for Syrian refugees to cleaning our public beaches, to providing Holiday Gifts to those in our community who would go without, and back to school backpacks filled with supplies to promote success. SPUR continues to make a difference in our community," said Debbie Frost of LizzyLoo & Friends in Marblehead.

Kristen Pollard, owner of Mud Puddle Toys in Marblehead, said she participates because she can see firsthand the results of SPUR's work.

Participating businesses are as follows:

In Marblehead, A Dancer’s Dream, Atomic Cafe, Bus Stop, The Crazy Candy Lady, Creature Comforts & Pawsitively, Christine D'Anjou, EOS Designs, Hestia Creations, Hip Baby Gear, Lizzy Loo & Friends, Marblehead Parenting, Marblehead Sports Shop, Mud Puddle Toys, Orange Leaf, Out of the Box Studio, Pint Size and Up, Scribe Paper & Gift, Shipshape, Sweetwater Trading Co.

In Salem, Re-find Men's, Re-find Women's, The Boutique.

And in Swampscott, Luxe Boutique.
