The boostersplus® Program provides BI-LO customers the opportunity to select organizations in their community to be the recipient of a percentage of the proceeds from their purchases.
“BI-LO’s boostersplus® Program is a wonderful way for us to give our customers a simple way to support organizations that are important to them and to their communities. Many of our customers are involved with organizations throughout the area, whether it be their kids’ schools, their church or a non-profit they are passionate about, and boostersplus® provides them a chance to donate to these organizations simply by doing their everyday grocery shopping,” said BI-LO’s Senior Manager of Consumer Marketing John Conroy.
