I love grocery shopping at Roche Bros in Natick. (
http://www.rochebros.com/) As a company, I think they are totally top notch as they support so many important causes, both locally and nationally. One especially commendable incentive program they offer to customers is that if you bring your own bags, you receive a 5 cent rebate per bag. And then you have the option to put the rebate towards your grocery bill, or to allow Roche Bros to immediately donate that rebate money to Children's Hospital. Well... that's a no-brainer!! Everytime Paul or I shop at Roche Bros, we always bring our own bags...even if it means we have to go back to the car and grab them because we forgot to bring them in the store with us! Today was no different, and my 10 bags gave a whopping 50 cents to Children's Hospital...but if everyone who shops there is doing this same thing on a regular basis, well, I believe that perhaps the hospital is getting a significant donation. And they sure do deserve every bit of funding that comes their way. Our family is close to Children's because my awesome niece Brittany trained as a nurse there while she lived in Boston. She welcomed us to visit when the twins were looking to donate the left over scarvesfrom their "Stitch Away Sickness" business after they reached their goal of raising $10,000 for the American Cancer Society. Brittany gave us a tour of the pediatric oncology floor, introduced us to some of her brave patients battling cancer, and showed us the "Resource Room" where we could leave the scarves for children and their families to drop by and take one. It was a very moving experience for all...especially Bianca as she refers to that event as a "defining moment" in her decision to pursue a career in Nursing..... and I think of it everytime I shop at Roche Bros.
