We have one big grocery store in our town and the Deb, the owner, manager and all around nice proprietor has a big heart to match.
Drayton Foodmarket runs a Smart Shopper Stamp deal for all
shoppers. With your grocery purchase you receive cards and you can place stamps on those cards and redeem them for discounts on most anything in the store. As part of her way of also giving back to the community, Deb puts up big stamp boards for the many charities in our area. Zeal for Teal has been no exception. Deb has supported Zeal for Teal ever since she came to the community by providing us with beverages for the day or baking or some other grocery item to help lessen the costs for our function. When Deb invited Zeal for Teal to post a board so that shoppers can have the option to post stamps, we were very grateful.
Well, today I was in to the store and our dear lovely, local grocer handed over a gift card worth $480. That will likely cover a good portion of the food bill for our special day. How blessed are we?
Not only do we have Deb to thank for allowing us to do this and for blessing us with this much, we have so many anonymous local shoppers to thank; those who didn't put the coupons on their own little cards for their own discount. Thank you so much for sharing and caring enough about our cause that you are willing to donate your stamps to us. We don't know who you are, but you do. We are very grateful for your generosity.
We will eat well at Zeal for Teal and there will be more to donate to the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope because of you, Deb & our anonymous friends. Bless you.
