The Rockfall Foundation Selected as Stop & Shop Community Bag Program Beneficiary for September

$1 Donated for Every GIVE BACK Bag Purchased in September at 416 E. Main S&S

The Stop & Shop Community Bag Program, which launched in May 2019, is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work. The Rockfall Foundation was selected as the September beneficiary of the program by store leadership at the Stop & Shop located at 416 East Main Street, Middletown. The Rockfall Foundation will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at this location during September, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.

"It was a wonderful surprise to hear that we were selected for this program, and equally wonderful to see Stop & Shop proactively supporting the environment and the community," said Amanda Kenyon, Grants & Communications Coordinator for The Rockfall Foundation. "Every donation received by Rockfall goes directly into our programming, including our grant-making for environmental projects and community programs such as our free Repair Cafes that give new life to people's broken and worn out items, keeping them out of the trash."

Founded in 1935 by Middletown philanthropist Clarence S. Wadsworth, The Rockfall Foundation is one of Connecticut’s oldest environmental organizations. The Foundation supports environmental education, conservation and planning initiatives in the Lower Connecticut River Valley through public programs and grants.  In addition, The Rockfall Foundation operates the historic deKoven House Community Center, which offers discounted meeting rooms and office space for non-profit organizations.
