Every month, the Stop&Shop stores choose a non-profit to benefit from their Give Back shopping bag program. The Edgartown store picked the Library Friends of Oak Bluffs to be the March charity. For every $2.50 Give Back shopping bag customers buy, the Library Friends receives $1.
The Library Friends exists solely to fund library programs at the Oak Bluffs Public Library as well as the equipment, materials and supplies required. Our small group can’t do it alone — we rely on the generosity of Islanders, both year-round and seasonal, as well as the businesses and companies across the island and have never been disappointed. Our gratitude for all the support we receive is boundless and it speaks to the love the Island has for its libraries.
We hope you’ll join in this easy way to donate. The Give Back bags are good for more than just groceries. They’re helpful in moving toys, laundry and miscellaneous household stuff to where they belong, they are a great way to tote all your paraphernalia to the beach, hold all the books you are taking home from the library (or donating the Friends), and they keep your knitting projects or craft materials all together and close at hand. They don’t rip, tear, or get soggy when wet. Goodness knows you can use more than one!
And to add the fun, take a picture of you and your bag and send it to [email protected] and you might see yourself on our social media.
