“Community Cash Back”
Through Dec 26
The Portage County Senior Center continues to collect all grocery receipts from Acme’s “Community Cash Back” program through Dec. 26th. This program helps non-profits bridge the costs associated with programming, etc. Because The Senior Center has no budget for much of what they do, they really rely on these types of creative endeavors from community partners in order to provide services to their seniors. No amount on the receipt is too small; it all adds up! Please share this info with your friends and family and either drop off or send the receipts to: The Portage County Senior Center, 705 Oakwood St. (Floor G), Ravenna, OH 44266.
