Both Price Chopper and Hannafords in Essex have agreed to provide reusable bags to those families interested in purchasing items of their choosing from the COTS wish list. Just mention you are participating in the COTS donation, IT'S IN THE BAG, for BRMS, and Hannafords or Price Chopper will provide you with a reusable bag in which you can place those donated items.
