Community Votes in New Leaf's Next Envirotoken Beneficiaries

New Leaf Community Markets would like to thank you if you voted in the recent Envirotoken election! Thousands of community members selected by voting the next set of local, nonprofits to benefit from New Leaf's Envirotoken program.

Customers of each New Leaf store chose a different set of six local nonprofits that are working to support environmental, education, or hunger-relief efforts in our community. These organizations will receive financial support for the next six months.

Join other community members in supporting these organizations (listed below). Every time you reuse a grocery bag at New Leaf, you receive a token worth 10 cents to direct to one of these groups. Just drop the tokens in the boxes by the door.

It really adds up! Since the program was launched, New Leaf has donated $840,700, and over 8 million bags have been reused.

The beneficiaries for each store are:

Westside New Leaf: Boys & Girls Club of SC County, Heading Home Animal Rescue, Homeless Garden Project, Life Lab, Native Animal Rescue, and Walnut Ave. Family & Women’s Ctr

Downtown Santa Cruz: Native Animal Rescue, California Ocean Alliance, Homeless Garden Project, Heading Home Animal Rescue, Santa Cruz SPCA, Native Animal Rescue, Walnut Ave. Family & Women’s Ctr., Santa Cruz SPCA, Friends of SC State Parks, Save Our Shores, and Heading Home Animal Rescue
