Giving Back to Your Community

Shaw's Supermarkets has come up with an innovative way to keep them top of mind. Many in NH are well aware that we get coupons to save $0.10, $0.20, etc off our gas at Irving, based on the size of our Shaw grocery bill. They also let you register your Shaws card, with pre-defined donation allocations to non-profits you want to support (up to 4 of them).

I've been supporting Habitat for Humanity for several years. Today I received an invitation to sign up and donate a percentage of my grocery receipts from Shaws (or Star Market in Massachusetts).The process was a little cumbersome but you only have to do it once.

Here's what Cheryl Van Allen, Executive Director of the Southeast NH Habitat for Humanity, sent out via Facebook this morning ...

"The Shaw's Rewards program has CHANGED - and it's now easier than ever to participate, and have a portion of your grocery bill go to helping Habitat eliminate poverty housing. The cool part? We no longer need to collect the paper receipts!!! Anyone, anywhere, can do it!! It is SO easy...here's what you do:

• Log log onto www.shaws.com/neighborhoodrewards
• Type in the code on the back of your card
• Type in the phone number you used to register the card ... I had to call (877-932-7948) as I never registered a phone number with my card
• You can type in the code for Habitat, 49001018944 or ...
  • Select up up to 4 organizations and allocate your spending credits across them. Shaw's will do the the rest!

Only purchases made on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday are eligible. So - you're gonna shop anyway, and between getting Irving gas points, and now THIS? Go on - it's a great way to give back.

Building houses, building hope - one volunteer, one family, one house at a time."
