NICKELS FOR CHARITY PROGRAM

New Earth Market gives customers a nickel for each grocery bag they reuse at checkout. Starting in 2015, New Earth Market has offered customers the option to donate these nickels to local charities.
Customers who choose to donate will be given wooden nickels and the option of inserting them in a box for a local non-profit organizations. Reusing your grocery bags is now a win-win for the environment and these fantastic local charities.
