Shop Save & Share—say that three times fast! Are you looking to save money with your favorite Birmingham retailers and give back to the community at the same time? We’ve got just the thing for you to do that, October 18-29.

What Shop Save & Share is all about

Before we get into the details about how you can shop til you drop around the Magic City, let’s meet the brains behind Shop Save & Share.

This event is organized by the Junior League of Birmingham (JLB), an organization of nearly 2,000 women who are committed to advancing women’s leadership for community impact through volunteer action, collaboration and training.

How to save at your favorite Birmingham retailers

Shop Save & Share is simple: you purchase a shopping card for $40, and you get up to 20% off and other exclusive offers at all participating stores throughout the Greater Birmingham Area (Chelsea, Trussville, Pelham, Mountain Brook, Leeds, Hoover and more).

Here’s how your shopping makes a difference: 100% of profits support the JLB’s mission-based work, including 28 projects that improve the lives of those in our community.

To kick off Shop Save & Share, the JLB is hosting a Kickoff Party that features small bites, drinks, music for all guests, with exciting giveaways for the first 25 attendees. There will also be cards for sale at the event—so you don’t want to miss it.

• What: JLB’s Shop Save & Share Kickoff Party
• When: Wednesday, October 18 | 5-7PM
• Where: Mountain Brook’s Lane Parke, 2683 Lane Parke Ct, Mountain Brook, AL 35223

Support the JLB’s mission when you purchase a Shop Save & Share card.

How your Shop Save & Share card helps local communities

Since its start 18 years ago, Shop Save & Share has put over $750,000 back into the community. Your donation of $40 provides the following:

• 240 meals provided through the Tarrant Mobile Food Pantry in partnership with the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama
• Food to feed 50 people for one day through Grace Klein Community
• A ride to a doctor’s appointment for Forge Breast Cancer Survivor Center clients
• 20 magnifying glasses for children participating in Can You Dig It? field trips with Birmingham Botanical Gardens

To put it into perspective, here’s how these card purchases add up:

• 2 card purchases cover the cost of lab work required for a mother to donate 60 bottles of breast milk for infants in need of nourishment.
• 2 card purchases provide fuel for rescued food to be transported, providing 630 meals per day through Grace Klein Community’s food recovery initiative.
• 12 card purchases provide funding for the Senior Signing Day for Cornerstone School of Alabama Taking Steps for Success program students.
• 50 card purchases enable the JLB Anti-Human Trafficking team to add awareness signs in public venues across the state.
