Frequently Asked Questions


What is the Big Y Community Bag Program?

The Big Y Community Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to support their communities and environment by buying durable, reusable shopping bags. Donations from this program support groups focused on education, civic, health & wellness, hunger relief and military/veterans organizations.

How much does a Community Bag cost?

Each bag costs $2.50, with $1 of that purchase going to support a benefiting nonprofit in your community.

Where can I buy a bag?

Community Bags are available at all Big Y locations. Look for them at registers and on the reusable bag rack. If you can’t find them, just ask a staff member where they are. They’ll be happy to show you!

To find the Big Y nearest to you, visit our site. You can also purchase these bags in bulk — they make great gifts for friends, family, colleagues and group members. Show them you care about them, the community and the environment! For information on bulk orders, please contact us at bigy@bags4mycause.com.
