Bloomin' 4 Good Program

Stop & Shop, 155 Harvard Street

Thank you to all who bought flowers to help raise funds for Brookline Thrives. Every time a shopper purchased a $10.99 bouquet in the sleeve marked “Bloomin’ 4 Good” at Stop & Shop, Brookline Thrives received a $1 donation. We will receive a check for $41 from Stop & Shop in the next couple of weeks.
