Bags That Give Back: Healthy Acadia Selected to Benefit in August

Help reduce single-use plastic in the environment and give back to those in need in our community. Healthy Acadia has been selected by Ellsworth Hannaford store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Hannaford Community Bag Program for the month of August. 

The Hannaford Community Bag Program is an easy way for shoppers to give back to their local community and the environment as part of their regular shopping routine. As part of this ongoing program, each month at every Hannaford location a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of the reusable Community Bag. Every reusable Hannaford Community Bag purchased sends a $1 donation to a non-profit local to the Hannaford store in which it was purchased. Healthy Acadia will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 Community Bag purchased in August at the Ellsworth Hannaford store, located at 225 High Street. Shoppers can also purchase the reusable Community Bag on Hannaford-To-Go.

“It’s more important than ever to help reduce single-use plastic in the environment,” said Tracey Carlson, Healthy Acadia’s Communications Director. “The Community Bag Program supports this effort while also contributing to non-profits at the local level, like us, who rely on the generous contributions from businesses and community members to support community programs that benefit all. We hope you’ll support Healthy Acadia in August by purchasing one – or two! - Community Bags at Ellsworth Hannaford.”
