Stop & Shop Floral Bouquet Program to Benefit the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain This September

(New Britain, Conn.) –The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain (CFGNB) has been selected by local Stop & Shop store leadership as the benefiting organization in the Stop & Shop Bloomin’ 4 Good Program for the month of September!

The Stop & Shop Bloomin’ 4 Good Program, which launched in February 2021, is designed to fight hunger in local communities with every floral bouquet purchased. Every $10.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquet with the red circle sticker sold supports a hunger organization local to the Stop & Shop in which it was purchased. According to Feeding America, every $1 donation to a local hunger organization can provide 10 or more meals to someone in need.

Every month, at every Stop & Shop a different local hunger organization is selected to benefit from the sale of these special Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquets. The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain was selected as the September beneficiary by local Stop & Shop leadership at the store located at 109 Corbin Avenue. The CFGNB will receive a $1 donation for every $10.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquet purchased at this Stop & Shop location in September. These donations will boost the funds the Foundation will be able to make available to local food pantries in its primary service area of New Britain, Berlin, Plainville and Southington.

“What a beautiful way to give back, help to fight hunger in our local community, and make a room, home or someone’s day even brighter,” said David Obedzinski, President & CEO of the Foundation. “We are thrilled to be participating in this innovative program that makes it possible for shoppers to give back to their communities as part of their regular weekly shopping routine and I want to take this opportunity to thank, in advance, anyone who participates in this special promotion, for their support of Stop & Shop, and our Community Foundation.”
