Roche Bros. Needham Store awarded Most Improved in Fundraising Efforts for "Go Green For Children's Program"

Today Roche Bros. presented a check to Boston Children’s Hospital as its “Go Green for Children’s Program” celebrates five years.  Each year, since 2008, Roche Bros. has given a five-cent rebate every time shoppers use their recyclable grocery bag.  While many retailers allow shoppers to pocket the rebate, Roche Bros. gives its customers another, more charitable option: donate it to Boston Children’s Hospital.

Those nickels add up quickly across Roche Bros. 18-store supermarket chain. This year’s check from the Roche Bros. Go Green for Children’s program is for $50,430.10. That’s over 1 million nickels! Together with the NSTAR Walk for Children’s sponsorship and cookbook program partnership with Children’s, the Roche Bros. community efforts have raised nearly $300,000 for Boston Children’s Hospital. 

The Roche Bros. Millis store came in as the top fundraiser of all store locations this year, with local shoppers generously donating close to $7,000. The Needham store was also awarded “Most Improved” from last year with a 71% increase in their donations.

Roche Bros. congratulates the local community for all their efforts in giving back. Customers can participate in the 2013 program by remembering to bring their recyclable bags on their next shopping trip.
