Buffalo Exchange Token for Bags

Now through June 2021, the Food Depository is a recipient of the Buffalo Exchange Tokens for Bags® program. That means the community can support the Food Depository just by shopping at Buffalo Exchange Chicago (Wicker Park). Instead of a plastic bag, the Tokens for Bags® program gives every customer who makes a purchase one “token” worth five cents (the cost to produce a bag) to donate to one of several nonprofits. The program has generated over $800,000 for thousands of local nonprofit organizations since 1994 and has kept over 16 million plastic bags out of the environment. Learn more.
