HANNAFORD HELPS SCHOOLS
We are partnering with Hannaford Grocery Stores for the Hannaford Helps Schools program, running from March 16 to June 7! Through this program, shoppers will earn 3 School Dollars for every 4 participating products purchased. At checkout, customers will receive a School Dollar printout they can redeem online to donate to any school in this program.
To redeem School Dollars, all shoppers need to do is enter the unique printout code and store number on the Hannaford Helps Schools program website and select their school. Each School Dollar printout has a QR code that will bring shoppers directly to this link, ensuring that redeeming School Dollars is as easy as possible.
Shaw's selects Fisher-Mitchell Elementary to benefit in June 2025
We are excited to share that Shaw’s has selected Fisher Mitchell to benefit from the GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program throughout June. The Shaw’s GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to contribute to their local communities.
Every time a $3 reusable GIVE BACK Bag is purchased at the Shaw’s located at Shaw's, 1 Chandler Drive, Bath ME in June, $1 will be donated to us!
Let’s get started! Share the news with friends and family. Call, send emails, and post on social media. The more people who purchase a GIVE BACK Bag in June, the greater the donation we will receive from Shaw’s!
With summer vacation fast approaching, we still have some fun
