Shaw’s Stamps? Say “Yes!”

Next time you are in a Shaw’s Supermarket, instead of saying “No” when the cashier asks if you are collecting stamps for their flatware promotion, please say “Yes” instead.  Then put the stamps you do not want in an envelope and mail them to:

Judith Patt
c/o Promise Church
204 M Tall Oaks Drive
South Weymouth, MA 02190

“No need to bother pasting them in the little book either,” says Judith. “We will take care of that.”

Judith and others at Promise Church are collecting the stamps to give to Friends of the Homeless of the South. They will redeem these Shaw’s Stamps for flatware to give to families moving out of shelters and motels and into more permanent housing.

“We’d love your help in collecting as many stamps as we can before the January 5th deadline,” Patt says. “That gives us up to January 19th to redeem them for the families.”

Ask the Shoppers Ahead of You Too!

If you are in line and the person in front of you says “No.” Think about taking advantage of that opportunity too, Judith suggests. “When you ask if they would mind giving you the stamps to help temporary shelter guests move into permanent homes, you will be surprised at how generous your fellow shoppers can be.”
