Guilford ABC Celebrates Selection as a Stop & Shop Community Bag Program Beneficiary  

Guilford ABC has been selected as a beneficiary of the Stop & Shop Community Bag Program for the month of January.

The Stop & Shop Community Bag Program, which launched in May 2019, is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work.

Guilford ABC was selected as the January beneficiary of the program by store leadership at the Stop & Shop located in Madison (128 Samson Rock Drive). Guilford ABC will receive a $1 donation every time the $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at this location during January, unless otherwise directed by the customer through the Giving Tag attached to the bag.

“What a great way to show support for the community,” said Georgia Cosgrove, Co-president of Guilford ABC. “We’re pleased that Stop & Shop has recognized the value of Guilford ABC, both for our scholars and for the community at large.”

Now in its 48th year, Guilford ABC — A Better Chance —is dedicated to helping close the opportunity gap for academically talented students of color from educationally disadvantaged communities. Our scholars are young women selected from a national application pool for their academic and leadership potential. The program exists to help these scholars attend a four-year college track program in our community, attend a college or university of their choice and become confident, contributing members of our society. Guilford ABC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
