Bags That Give Back: The Opportunity Alliance Selected to Benefit in Hannaford Reusable Bag Program Designed to Give Back in Local Communities

 (South Portland, ME) – Reduce single-use plastic in the environment and give back to those in need in the local community, all while running routine weekly errands at the local 415 Philbrook Avenue (Maine Mall) Hannaford in South Portland. The Opportunity Alliance (TOA) has been selected by Maine Mall Hannaford store leadership as the benefiting non-profit for the month of July!

 As part of this ongoing program, every month at every Hannaford location a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of the reusable bag program. The Opportunity Alliance will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable bag purchased at this Maine Mall location in July. 

 “These days, more and more Mainers are turning to The Opportunity Alliance for support. It’s also more important than ever to help reduce single-use plastic in the environment,” said Lily Lynch, VP of Development & Communications of The Opportunity Alliance.  “We’re grateful for this program- which we see as a win-win, and hope you’ll support us in July by purchasing one – or two – reusable bags at the Maine Mall Hannaford.”

 Through 45 integrated and community-based programs, The Opportunity Alliance serves more than 20,000 people annually throughout the state of Maine. With over 50 years of experience, TOA draws from a comprehensive set of programs which address issues such as mental health, substance use, homelessness, lack of basic needs, and access to community supports.
