Housatonic Habitat for Humanity is the recipient of the Community Bag Program in Ridgefield at the Stop & Shop, 125 Danbury Rd. location in Ridgefield. This is the first time this year that Habitat has been chosen as the non-profit of the month for this program, which was on a hold for over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For each $2.50 reusable Community Bag purchased by customers, Habitat will receive a $1 donation. Customers who purchase Community Bags at other locations may direct their donations to Habitat by visiting: mystopandshopcause.com, completing the form, and selecting Housatonic Habitat as their charity of choice.

“We are thrilled to partner with Stop & Shop and to be able to help the environment at the same time,” said Diana Arfine, Executive Director of Housatonic Habitat. “Proceeds from this fundraiser will support Housatonic Habitat’s mission of building affordable homes in our community.”
