Tokens for Tomorrow: January-March 2025
Meet the 1st Quarter Tokens for Tomorrow groups! With Tokens for Tomorrow, every time you bring in a reusable shopping bag, we honor your commitment to reducing waste with a token worth 8¢ that you can give back to one of these local organizations.
Skagit Animals in Need
Skagit Animals in Need
Skagit Animals in Need (SAIN) is dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming large animals and livestock seized in neglect and cruelty cases, or released to animal control or law enforcement.
Once in SAIN custody, the animal is placed in a safe foster home, a medical and behavioral assessment is performed, and rehabilitation begins. Once the animal is at a healthy weight and up to date on medical care, it is made available for adoption to loving homes.
Skagit Valley Farmers Market Coalition

The Skagit Valley Farmers Market Coalition works to celebrate and grow our unique Skagit culture around food and community by strengthening our resilient farmers markets.

Reuse. Rinse. Repeat.
Every time you reuse your bag, you’re giving back. How many times have you given back? How many times have you reused your bag? Probably too many to count, and we are so grateful for your efforts. Now, how many times have you reused your bag since you washed it last? Chances are, probably too many times to count. So, please remember to wash your bags to help keep everyone’s food safe and clean. And thanks again for reusing your bag!
