The Hannaford Community Bag Program has been operating for 10 years now, since October 2015. Hannaford operates 220 stores across Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York that all participate in the program. Since inception, the program has donated over $3,590,373 to 6,517 nonprofit organizations with the sale of 4,257,419 reusable bags.
This program makes it easy for shoppers to support their communities and environment by buying durable, reusable shopping bags. A portion of each purchase goes to a local nonprofit organization, and we are honored that Hannaford has selected the YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston for the month of October 2025.
So next time you’re shopping at Hannaford on 95 Spring Street in Auburn remember to pick up a $2.50 reusable bag, and $1 from your purchase will be donated back to our YMCA to benefit youth programs and scholarships. Thank you to our friends at Hannaford for supporting the YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston!
