The new Lucky’s Market grocery opening this week at Broadway & Providence has offered to donate to the Community Garden Coalition proceeds from one of their fundraising programs. For each reusable shopping bag used, Lucky’s will give shoppers a wooden token that can be placed in collection buckets on the way out the door; the tokens are periodically counted and a sum donated to the appropriate nonprofit.
This coming Wednesday, January 15, starting at 9:30 a.m., Lucky’s will host an opening day event. Representatives from the CGC will be at the ceremony and we’d love to have other community garden folks there as well.
