We signed up with Boston Community Change so a portion of what I spend on food, consumables, and other necessaries, can be directed more purposefully towards local needs.

Here’s the scoop from their web page:

Boston Community Change is a tool to align our daily economic activities with our deepest human values.  When you shop, the program generates money for local businesses and nonprofits and creates a way for citizen consumers to make conscientious decisions about their spending that will affect how money circulates within their community.

The program is transforming our communities for the better by changing the way we shop, the way we do business, and the way we support the causes we care about.
