We went back to school!
Did you know the Shopping Anyway family has a total of 5 degrees from Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT? We even got married at the campus chapel in 1997! We recently met with the Dean of the Fairfield University Charles F. Dolan School of Business to talk about the Shopping Anyway tool and how it came to be from a family legacy of giving back to others. Looking forward to great collaboration! 🩵🩵🩵

Behind every nonprofit is a mission — and a team doing everything they can to bring it to life.

On , let’s show up for the causes we care about. Download the Shopping Anyway app and check out all of the incredible organizations listed. Pick some items to donate (because you're "Shopping Anyway" !!), volunteer, attend an event. Share their work. It all matters. 💙💙💙

We love supporting Purple Pantry ! 💙💙💙
People often ask if pantries such at Purple Pantry have an Amazon Wish List. We've got something better! Download the app to Apple or Android with just your name, address, email & phone. There are options to ship items via your Amazon, Instacart, Target, or Walmart account, and even an address to simply drop off !,...because you're Shopping Anyway !!!
