Rising Tide Natural Market Raising Funds for Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club

Rising Tide Natural Market of Glen Cove has designated Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club as its Charity of the Month for May.

Rising Tide Natural Market raises funds for a different local charity each month through its BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) program. Customers are charged 10 cents for each paper bag a cashier gives them, and those monies are donated directly to the Charity of the Month. In addition, Rising Tide refunds 10 cents for each reusable bag a shopper uses; cashiers ask customers if they would like to donate these monies, as well. This is the second time Rising Tide Natural Market has selected Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club for this program. Last July, the BYOB program raised $500 for the Club.
