Habitat for Humanity has been chosen as the nonprofit of the month for the Ridgefield Stop&Shop bag program. For each $2.50 reusable community bag purchased by customers, Habitat will receive a $1 donation. Customers who purchase community bags at other locations may direct their donations to Habitat by visiting mystopandshopcause.com, completing the form and selecting Housatonic Habitat as their charity of choice.

“We are thrilled to partner with Stop & Shop and to be able to help the environment at the same time,” said Diana Arfine, executive director of Housatonic Habitat. “Proceeds from this fundraiser will support Housatonic Habitat”™s mission of building affordable homes in our community.”
