Help The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester And The Environment

MOUNT KISCO, NY — The Mount Kisco Stop & Shop is giving shoppers the chance to support the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester and their mission of inspiring and enabling all young people.

And you might just help save the environment at the same time.

The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester has been selected by store leadership at Stop & Shop’s Mount Kisco location as the beneficiary of the Stop & Shop Community Bag Program for the entire month of September.

The Stop & Shop Community Bag Program, which launched in May 2019, is a reusable bag program with the goal of making a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work.

The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at the Mount Kisco location during September unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.

"We are tremendously grateful to be chosen as the organization to benefit from this incredible community program for the second time this year," said Alyzza Ozer, BGCNW CEO. "The support of local businesses and individuals within the community is critical in helping us to make a positive, lasting impact in the lives of our children. All funds donated to the Club help us to provide low-cost and full scholarship childcare for our Early Childhood Education and Afterschool Fun Club programs."
