The Danbury PAL has been selected by local Stop & Shop store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Stop & Shop Community Bag for the month of March. The Stop & Shop Community Bag Program 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 Community Bag sends a $1 donation to a non-profit local to the Stop & Shop in which it was purchased. As part of this ongoing program, every month at every Stop & Shop location a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of the reusable Community Bag. The Danbury PAL was selected as the March beneficiary by local store leadership at the store located at 72 Newtown Road, Danbury, CT. The Danbury PAL will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable Community Bag purchased at this location in March.
