Reusable Bag Program

Reusable Bag Program

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare via Email

Reduce single-use plastic in the environment and give back to a local non-profit, all while running routine weekly errands at the local Winn Dixie. 

The Environmental Learning Center (ELC) has been selected by local Winn-Dixie store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Community Bag Program for the month of May!

The Winn-Dixie Community Bag Program is an easy way for shoppers to give back to the local community and the environment as part of the regular shopping routine. Every $2.50 reusable Community Bag sends a $1 donation to a non-profit local to the Winn-Dixie in which it was purchased.

As part of this ongoing program, every month at every Winn-Dixie location, a different local non-profit is selected to benefit from the sale of the reusable Community Bag. 

The ELC was selected as the May beneficiary by local store leadership at the Winn-Dixie store located at 995 Sebastian Boulevard, Sebastian, Florida. 

The ELC will receive a $1 donation for every $2.50 reusable Community Bag purchased at this location in May.

“It’s more important than ever to help reduce single-use plastic in the environment,” said Barbara Schlitt Ford, Executive Director of the Environmental Learning Center. 

“Non-profits at the local level, like us, are in need of community support. This program offers the perfect solution to multiple issues of the world today. We hope you’ll support us in May by purchasing one – or two! – Community Bags at our local Winn-Dixie,” Ford added.

The Environmental Learning Center is a non-profit based in Vero Beach, Florida. Founded in 1988, the ELC works to educate, inspire, and empower all people to be active stewards of the environment and their well-being.

Sebastian Daily is the number-one source for local news with more readers than any other publication in Sebastian, Vero Beach, Fellsmere, and Indian River County.

We bring you straightforward, honest coverage of what’s happening right here—whether it’s community events or local government decisions.

Our beat is strictly local, centered on the news that hits home for Indian River County residents. We skip national politics, including local protests about national issues, at the request of our readers to prevent political polarization and division. It’s a policy we’ve had for more than a decade.
