SHELTON - Shelton Historical Society has been selected as a beneficiary of the Stop & Shop Community Bag Program for June.
The Stop & Shop Community Bag Program launched in May 2019.
It is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work.
Shelton Historical Society was selected as the June beneficiary by store leadership at the Stop & Shop at 898 Bridgeport Ave.
Shelton Historical Society will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at this location during June, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.
“We were delighted to be chosen as the recipient of this program for June,” said Tracey Tate, Executive Director of Shelton Historical Society. “We’ll have a busy summer and this partnership will benefit a gardening program for families that we are starting soon. Along with new volunteers and community partners, this opportunity is coming at a perfect time.”
Shelton Historical Society is a nonprofit that was founded in 1969. It owns and operates Shelton History Center at 70 Ripton Road, a complex of six historic structures that includes a museum with objects and paper-based items that reflect present-day or historic Shelton.
These resources are used as a foundation for educational programs and presentations for all ages.
