Round Up for Your Community
We invite you to donate your change to worthy causes in the community.
How does it work? When you make a purchase at the register and the total amount is something like $7.38 you can choose to round up and pay an even $8.00. The extra $0.62 will be donated to the organization we’re supporting that month. Your small change can make a big difference.
We’re proud to have raised $21,811.74 for local organizations in 2023. Thank you for your help in making this year’s Change For Good round-up donations a success.
If you belong to a local organization that serves the Blue Hill Peninsula, we invite you to apply for the 2025 Change for Good program.
