Shop for Schools is back at fresh&easy

Earlier this year we piloted a program called Shop for Schools and helped raise money for K-8th grade schools in the neighborhoods around our stores. Afterwards, we were delighted to hear from parents, students, teachers and administrators that our donations helped them purchase much-needed supplies, books, instruments and sometimes helped pay teacher salaries.

Each day we hear about the pressure schools are under when it comes to budgets; and we really want to help out. So after talking and listening to participants and customers from our pilot program, we’ve made some improvements and decided to bring it back!

This time, we’ve extended the fundraising period and added enhanced fundraising opportunities. For example, participating schools will receive a $1 cash donation for every $20 spent at our stores beginning September 15th through December 31st and on a designated evening schools can receive 5% of a store’s sales.

Check out a video on Shop for Schools from earlier this year:



We recently sent registration forms to eligible schools in the neighborhoods around our stores, so be sure to chat with your school’s administrator if you’d like to register. Registration ends October 1st!

We're interested to hear your thoughts... Did your school participate earlier this year? What did you think?

Cheers,
Gary
