What can you do with $3? Throughout the month of May, you can use it to support local children and adults with disabilities and reduce single-use plastic in the environment! All month long, every $3 reusable grocery bag purchased at the Paoli ACME yields a $1 donation for Royer-Greaves School for Blind.

That’s because Royer-Greaves, which serves children and adults with visual impairment coupled with an intellectual, developmental, or physical disability, has been selected by Paoli Acme store leadership as the benefiting non-profit in the Give Back Where It Counts bag program for the month of May, 2021.

Royer-Greaves Executive Director Vicky Mayer said the timing couldn’t be better. “From the technology that allowed students and adults to participate remotely to the PPE and disinfectants that allowed us to welcome them back to campus, we have faced many unanticipated expenses during this pandemic,” she said. “This ACME program gives the community an easy way to support us while doing theirregular shopping—and they can protect our environment at the same time.”
