Purchase Stop & Shop shopping bags in September
|
The Stop & Shop grocery store in Granby has selected the Citizens for a Better Granby (publishers of the Drummer) to receive a portion of the sales of its Community Bags during September. The $2.50 reusable bags both benefit the environment by reducing the use of paper and plastic bags and yield a $1 donation to CBG. That sounds like a WIN-WIN to us!

He started taking pictures on a seven-week summer Eurail trip in 1971 and hasn’t stopped since!
