FAQs

The Community Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to support their community and environment by buying durable, reusable shopping bags. A portion of each purchase goes to a local nonprofit in need. Donations from this program support groups focused on education, civic, health & wellness, hunger relief, military/veterans and disaster relief organizations.

A Community Bag costs $2.99, with $1 of that purchase going to support a benefiting nonprofit in your community.

The bags are made from 95% recycled materials from either nonwoven or woven Polypropylene. They are manufactured in China and Vietnam in factories that follow the strictest guidelines for employment and production standards.

We work with local food pantries and food banks to provide nourishing meals to those in need. According to Feeding America, every $1 donation allows partners to secure and distribute 10 meals to those in need.

We estimate that one purchased reusable bag will be used at least six times per year. We also estimate that each time a reusable bag is used it equates to five single-use bags that are not used. This means that for every reusable bag that is sold, 30 single-use bags are not used. We are confident in this assessment, as it is a very conservative estimate compared to other findings.

Community Bags are available at all Winn-Dixie, Fresco y Más and Harveys locations. Look for them at registers and on the reusable bag rack. If you can’t find them, just ask a staff member where they are. They’ll be happy to show you!

You can also purchase these bags in bulk - they make great gifts for friends, family, colleagues, and group members. Show them you care about them, the community, and the environment! For information on bulk orders, please contact us at seg@bag4mycause.com.

We will send donation checks directly to selected nonprofits earning $10 or more in the Community Bag Program approximately 10-12 weeks after their selected month ends.

Nonprofits participating in the Giving Tag Program who earn $10 or more at any point will be sent their donation checks approximately 10-12 weeks after the close of the month in which the funds reaching or surpassing $10 were raised.

No. The ongoing Giving Tag Program is separate from the monthly Community Bag Program.

Yes, only the assorted floral bouquets with the red circle sticker (pictured below) will benefit the selected hunger organization of the month. The bouquet is a grower's choice floral bouquet, which means that it is a seasonal assortment of flowers. This means that the specific kinds of flowers within the bouquets will change, but the red circle sticker on the bouquet is the indicator that it will benefit a hunger organization upon purchase. You can find them in the specially marked display box in the floral section.
