New Leaf Community Market Announces Envirotoken Beneficiaries
Here's an easy way you can support local nonprofits working hard to support our community,
Customers of the Coastside New Leaf Community Markets in Half Moon Bay have voted in the next set of local nonprofit beneficiaries to receive financial donations through New Leaf’s Envirotoken program.
Every time New Leaf customers reuse a grocery bag, they receive a token worth 10 cents to donate to one of these six beneficiaries for the next six months: Abundant Grace, ALAS, Boys & Girls Club of San Mateo County, Heal Project, Puente, and Sea Hugger.

New Leaf was the first organization on the Central Coast to launch this kind of program to support nonprofits and many others have followed suit. Since the program was launched in 1993, New Leaf has donated $853,000 and customers have reused over 9 million shopping bags – saving the equivalent of over 12,000 trees.
