Shop at Food Lion, save money, and help Easter Seals
by Beth
You Food Lion customers sure are a generous bunch! For four weeks last year, cashiers at Food Lion and its associate stores asked customers to join them in supporting Easter Seals with a $1.00 donation at checkout time. in those short four weeks, Food Lion’s Shop&Care campaign raised, get this, more than three million dollars to help children receiving Easter Seals services.
This year’s Shop&Care campaign starts this Wednesday, February 10, and Food Lion hopes to raise the bar even higher to help children with autism and other disabilities get a healthy start. From February 10 until March 9, cashiers at Food lion, Bloom, Bottom Dollar Food and Reid’s will be asking customers to join them in supporting Easter Seals by giving a donation at checkout — donate $1.00 and then you can write your name on an Easter Seals Shop&Care Hang Tag.
Some other ways you can support the program while you’re shopping:
- Food Lion will donate $0.25 for every 24-pack of Food Lion water purchased during the campaign.
- Procter & Gamble will donate $0.05 for every specially-marked Pringles potato chips purchased.
And how cool is this? If you redeem money-saving coupons from Kraft, Kraft will donate $0.25 to Easter Seals for every coupon redeemed. You’ll be helping people with autism and other disabilities, and saving money at the same time!
In 19 consecutive years of supporting Easter Seals, Food Lion has raised more than $21 million to help individuals with autism, developmental disabilities and other special needs. Easter Seals is proud to partner with Food Lion to support services that offer help, hope and answers to these individuals and their families.
