Step 1
Explore: Discover the Program
Get familiar with the Community Bag Program and reach out to your staff, volunteers and supporters to help them learn about it, too. Explore the Resource Center to find email templates, social media posts, downloadable flyers and more. Use the Head Start Tools right away to alert your supporters to your selection. You have a few weeks to steer your supporters in the right direction.
Step 2
Ignite: Set the Excitement Ablaze
Before your month begins, start spreading the news! Use our Tools of the Month to alert your friends and supporters with customized images you can use for social media and flyers to distribute and post. Don’t miss the promotional video that can be posted to social media or emailed to supporters and followers that explains the program in less than 30 seconds!
Step 3
Launch: Take Flight
Your month begins! Throughout the next few weeks, post frequent reminders of what to buy and from where. Check out creative examples of nonprofit social media posts to get inspired! Be sure to tag Stop & Shop to increase reach!
Step 4
Enjoy: Sit Back and Celebrate
Your month is complete, and it’s time to thank your supporters. About a week after your benefiting period is over, you’ll receive an email from us with the amount you raised during your selection month and the date a donation check will be sent to you through the U.S. Postal Service.
Remember, we’re always here to help, so please contact us with any questions any time!
