2025 Beans for Bags Nominations are open!
Nominate Your Favorite Non-Profit!
We reward people for their sustainability efforts by giving 8 cents back for each reusable bag used. You can then either keep the bag credit, OR get at bean. Get a bean, you ask? If you choose a bean (= $.08), you can choose where that money goes by dropping that bean into a jar, which represents 1 of 3 non-profits in the Jefferson County Community. Non-profits are nominated by member/owners and chosen by a committee. Two jars are rotated out bi-monthly, the third jar represents the Jefferson County Food Bank, which is supported year round.
