What is Graceway Communities?
Graceway Supermarkets has been supporting local communities in the Turks and Caicos Islands since 1998 and in early 2019 we introduced Graceway Communities, an umbrella for all our social and charitable efforts for the good of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
STAYING BLUE STARTS WITH YOU
Graceway Communities launched the Staying Blue token scheme in early 2019 to reduce single-use bags in stores and do good in the local community.
Every few months donations up to $10,000 is distributed between three community causes, these could be for school equipment upgrades, environmental actions, social outreach initiatives, senior citizen care or health charity activities.
In stores, our customers are given a Staying Blue token at the checkout for every bag they reuse for shopping. They can place their token(s) in one of three local causes which are allocated their own token boxes. Graceway Communities donates 10¢ for each token for the first 100,000 tokens, so the more tokens a cause receives the larger the donation.
Staying Blue is about working together as a community for the islands and the ocean around us. Together we can reduce humans’ footprints on the environment and support our local communities.
STAYING BLUE CHARITIES: January - March, 2023
Hurray! The results are in. Thanks for using your reusable bags. Together we can reduce human footprints on the environment while supporting our local communities.
