Help Support Rye Youth Council And The Environment At The Same Time

PORT CHESTER, NY — The Stop & Shop on Waterfront Place in Port Chester is giving shoppers the chance to support the Rye Youth Council and help protect the environment at the same time.

Stop & Shop's community bag program will benefit the Youth Council during the entire month of February. A portion of the proceeds from reusable bags sold at the Stop & Shop store will be donated to the non-profit organization.

Every $2.50 reusable Community Bag sold supports a non-profit local to the store in which it was purchased. Each month, at every Stop & Shop location, a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of these special reusable Community Bags. Donations from the program started in 2019 have supported groups focused on education, civic, health/wellness, hunger relief and military/veteran organizations.

The Rye Youth Council was selected as the February beneficiary by the local Stop & Shop. The non-profit will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable community bag purchased at the store throughout the month.
