Another way you can support FOWC is by filling a bag with empty bottles and cans. Thank you so much for filling those Clynk bags that recently went home. Those bottles and cans help our cause. You can pick up extra bags in the bin outside the WCS entrance.
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Grab a bag
2. Fill it up with returnables
3. Drop it off at any Clynk location (buildings next to Hannaford stores)

By shopping at any Hannaford Supermarket locations between March 17th and June 1st, 2024 you can help earn money for our school! When you purchase any 4 participating products during your trip the Hannaford Helps Schools program will donate 3 School Dollars. You can turn in your school dollars to the Main Office at WCS or scan the QR code on your slip to select the school of your choice.
