Redding Schools Benefit From Shaw's Donation

By Demetra Giatas (Open Post)

Shaw’s and Star Market have made a big difference in the bottom line for some New England schools and their fundraising efforts this year. Schools participating in Close Buy Catalog, a local goods school fundraising catalog, received their packaged goods delivered directly to their schools by the New England supermarket chain at no cost.

This is the 3rd year Shaw’s and Star Market have partnered with Close Buy Schools and provided this generous donation. Schools located in West Hartford, Madison, Farmington, Lyme and Redding benefitted from this year’s donation.

The beneficiary schools participated in Close Buy, a company based in Portland, Maine that provides an alternative to typical fall fundraising catalogs. Close Buy features local goods, and proceeds not only support Connecticut schools, but also provide a boost to the local economy by engaging local artists and vendors. Close Buy Catalog is available to schools throughout the Northeast.
