Help to reduce plastic bag pollution and prepare for a future when grocery stores, convenience stores, and pharmacies no longer use single use plastic bags! Lynnhaven River NOW partners with Virginia Beach Parks and Rec, local businesses, Pearl Faith communities, and other non-profits who will collect and redistribute clean, new, or gently used bags to members of our community who may not have easy access to free reusable bags. The bags are distributed to the following sites:
- Judeo-Christian Outreach Center
- Eastern Shore Chapel Food Pantry
- Virginia Department of Health
- WIC Program
- Episcopal Church of the Ascension Food Pantry
- Virginia Beach Senior Resource Center
Our group will be organizing and repackaging bags to distribute to the food pantries! LRNow will be providing snacks and drinks for us; no need to bring anything. If you do have reusable bag materials you would like to donate, feel free to bring them, but we will not be assembling any on this trip.
