Rounding Up at the Register is a program that gives you the opportunity to give back to your local community every time you shop. You’ll have the option to round up to the nearest dollar when you check out, and the difference will be donated to a local non-profit. (You can opt to donate more*, if you wish!)
Every month we’ll donate to a different non-profit at each of our seven locations. Plus, we are matching your donations. Meet our December recipients, below.
COLLEGEVILLE: Worthwhile Wear
Worthwhile Wear exists to reach and serve women affected by human trafficking because everyone is worthwhile. Their comprehensive approach is to connect with survivors in their community, serve them through restorative programming and safe housing, and help them sustain financial independence by offering employment. The Worth It program is a series of classroom experiences designed for women who have experienced trauma from exploitation or trafficking. The goal is to help participants connect with area service providers, maintain sobriety, and ultimately break the cycle of exploitation.
