Prelude to a Cure Selected as Charity of Choice from the Winn Dixie Community Bag with a Giving Tag Program
The specially designed reusable bags are from recycled materials and can be found at registers and on the reusable bag rack at Winn-Dixie grocery stores in the Southeast.
The program is designed to make it easy for shoppers to give back to the community while supporting the environment. Since the program began in February of 2019, $303,268 has been raised nationwide with over 6,000+ charities supported, and 9,096,300 single-use bags not used.
“We’re pleased that the leadership of these Winn Dixie locations have selected us as their Charity of Choice,” said Ros Miller, Executive Director of Prelude to a Cure. “Every dollar helps raise awareness of our organization and since we are entirely volunteer driven, it helps fund those valuable seed grants that are vital to our mission. Currently, lung cancer is the least federally funded of the top cancers, yet is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.”
Beginning March 1st (and throughout the entire month), each time a shopper purchases a $2.50 Community Bag with a Giving Tag the shopper can direct their $1 donation to a local non-profit within 7 days of purchase. If the customer does not designate a charity within the 7 days, it will automatically be donated to the non-profit that each store’s leadership has selected for the month. The following Winn Dixie locations have chosen Prelude to a Cure as their charity of choice and are participating in the program:
1) Winn Dixie located at 8837 N. 56th Street, Temple Terrace, FL
2) Winn Dixie located at 2770 Fowler Avenue, Tampa, FL
