Don’t just throw your Ballard Market (1400 NW 56th St) receipts away, turn them in for a good cause. The East Ballard Community Association is working with the grocery store to get 1% of all receipts they turn in. From the EBCA blog:
The Ballard Market has now stepped up their support by accepting our application to join their 1% program. To participate, just save up your receipts from the Ballard Market and deliver them to Blowing Sands Glass at 5805 14th Ave NW. Dave and Cindy will have a box at the front desk waiting for you. We’ll add them up and submit them to the Ballard Market, they’ll write us a check for 1% of the receipts and we’ll start collecting these funds to support our ebca projects and events!
Both West Woodland Elementary and Salmon Bay School also participate in this program. Please let us know if you’ve got a group or organization participating in the 1% program and we’ll add the information here. (Thanks Dawn for the tip!)
Very cool! Is there a time frame for this? I want to make sure I don’t miss turning them in in time.
Salmon Bay School also participates in the program — it’s an important element of our parent group’s fundraising!
Whittier Elementary does too!!
Whitman Middle School also participates in this program…
Adams Elementary participates, too!
Crown Hill 3-5’s preschool also collects receipts.
I just wanted to add that for ebca, receipts need to be posted after August 1 of this year. We can continue collecting the receipts indefinitely after that. I also wanted to add that The Ballard Corners Park also also collects receipts.
