Verna Felton is happy to announce that we have been selected as a recipient of the Buffalo Exchange Tokens for Bags® program from July through December 2024. You can now donate to Verna Felton just by shopping at Buffalo Exchange Somerville. Instead of a plastic bag, the Tokens for Bags® program offers every customer who makes a purchase one “token” valued at five cents (the cost to produce a bag) to donate to one of several local charities selected by the store. The program has generated over $962,840 for hundreds of local nonprofit organizations since 1994 and has saved over 19.25 million plastic bags from the landfill.
