Heal the Bay

99¢ Only Stores® is a proud sponsor of Heal the Bay’s Nothin' But Sand beach cleanup program and a multi-year partner of its annual, A Day Without a Bag event.  As a successful, Southern California-based retail chain, 99¢ Only Stores’ support has been key in promoting greater awareness, broadening Heal the Bay’s base of members, and generating donations to support their science, education, community action and advocacy efforts. 

99¢ Only Stores’ support, and the support of other community members and local businesses, is extremely important in raising awareness and funds to aid in Heal the Bay’s mission to make southern California coastal waters and watersheds, including Santa Monica Bay, safe, healthy and clean. 

Through the collaboration of 99¢ Only Stores and Heal the Bay's Nothin' But Sand program, Heal the Bay is able to provide education about ocean pollution, safety instructions and cleanup supplies including bags, gloves, pencils and data cards, for individuals, families, schools and business groups to remove trash from local beaches. As part of the sponsorship, 99¢ Only Stores donates gift certificates, reusable bags and other fun drawing prizes as appreciation awards for volunteers at each Nothin’ But Sand cleanup. 

As a longtime, major retail sponsor of Heal the Bay’s A Day Without a Bag event, 99¢ Only Stores has donated over 49,999 reusable bags to consumers over the past two years. In addition, as part of 99¢ Only Stores' commitment to educate consumers on environmentally-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic bags, the company has been promoting the adoption of reusable bags for many years. 99¢ Only Stores reusable bags are available for 99.99¢ in all of its 276 stores.

 
The company is also implementing a new “plastic bag reduction policy” throughout the entire chain. Cashiers will only double bag upon request and encourage customers to forgo a single-use plastic bag on purchases of three items or less.

Heal the Bay commends these efforts to reduce single-use plastic bag pollution and is grateful for 99¢ Only Stores' generous sponsorship support.
