For most businesses, sending over $1,500/month back to local schools would have been enough…but we didn’t stop there.  We’ve taken the success of Farmer’s 4 Education and extended it to some of the most worthy non-profit organizations in the Belleville area.  Our Farmer’s 4 Causes initiative just launched last month and we’ve already raised $318 in three weeks for the Belleville Area Humane Society, Hospice of Southern Ill, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Violence Prevention Ctr, and the 42Foundation!

I’m pleased to announce that we’re adding another non-profit partner that you can start signing up in our stores to support immediately – The Illinois Center for Autism! We’re going to kick off their participation with a bang when we attend their Annual Trivia Night on November 14th.  We’ll be in person signing folks up to send up to 10% of their spending in our stores back to support the amazing work they’re doing for Autistic individuals in St. Clair County.

We’ll also be Puttin’ on the Ritz with the Hospice of Southern Illinois at their annual Gala at the St. Clair Country Club.  Hospice already has over 50 cardholders that have enrolled in-store so we can easily reach the 6% rebate level by enrolling the attendees at the Gala on November 14th.
