Julie Landry, Director of Laraway School, received a donation from Trudy Trombley of Stowe Mercantile & Boutique in Stowe. The $302 check is from the store's "Bring Your Own Bag" program which has supported many charitable organizations.
"We're excited to have chosen this great organization as the recipient of proceeds from our BYOB program," said Trudy Trombley. "As an incentive to reduce the number of shopping bags used, we have created our BYOB program. For every customer that doesn't need a bag or doesn't take a bag from the stores, our businesses donate a nickel to a local charity."
In just the first year, over 10,000 bags have been saved while, simultaneously, raising funds for local charities.
We call that a Win:Win situation. Thank you, Stowe Mercantile & Boutique!
