Library News
The library is again collecting receipts showing a Community Cash Back value, in order to earn money to support the library. Acme Fresh Market will donate 5% of the total amount of Cash Back on receipts dated August 1, 2023 – February 15, 2024. Bring your receipts to the Check Out Desk.
Here’s how the program works:
1. Shop at any Acme Fresh Market August 1, 2023 – February 15, 2024.
2. When you buy participating brands, you’ll see a note on the bottom of the receipt saying “Community Cash Back Earned Today.”
3. If you earned Cash, save the receipt and bring it to the Check Out Desk by February 19, 2024. Put your receipts in the drop box on the desk.
Want to make it even easier for us?
Collect a month’s worth of receipts at a time. Highlight or circle the Community Cash Back Box on each receipt. Tally up all the receipts and place a total on the top receipt. Secure them together, or place inside a clear plastic bag and bring them in!
