For the month of May, SPIHN has been designated for the Community Bag program. Just purchase these bags at the Bi-Lo at 100 N. Town Drive and SPIHN will receive $1 for every bag purchased. I bought my bags! Thanks for supporting SPIHN and the efforts to help the homeless!

Just a reminder that we get $1 from every reusable grocery Community Bag purchased from the BI-LO located at100 North Town Drive, Spartanburg, SC (the one at Heron Circle). This will last through the month of May and we greatly appreciate the donations from this fundraiser. Not only are you able to fit more groceries in one of the reusable bags when compared to plastic, but they will make it easier to carry groceries a little bit easier! Shopping tip: keep an old laundry basket or box in your car to also help carry groceries into your home if you do not have enough reusable bags. All proceeds from this will go to serving our clients and community. You are welcome to reach out to us with any questions and we greatly appreciate your support! We can be contacted at: [email protected] or call at (864) 597-0699.

While we know that these are some unusual times due to COVID-19 and we hope that everyone is doing well, we know that you are still buying groceries! So, if you are a BI-LO shopper (or even if you are not), please consider buying some reusable grocery Community Bags from the BI-LO located at 100 North Town Drive, Spartanburg, SC (the one at Heron Circle) as we are getting $1 from every Community Bag purchased! This will only last through the month of May! The Community Bag program at BI-LO makes it easy for shoppers to give back to the community by giving us $1 for each bag purchased. This is not only a great way to support us but also a great way to reduce plastic while making carrying the groceries a little bit easier! Shopping tip: you can keep these bags in your car to make your shopping day easier. As always, the proceeds from this will go to serving our clients and community. You are welcome to reach out to us with any questions and we greatly appreciate your support! We can be contacted at: [email protected] or call at (864) 597-0699.
