Marco Island Woman’s Club and Winn-Dixie – It’s All in the Bag!

It is no secret that the ladies of Marco Island love stylish bags, especially fancy ones with designer initials and logos. This month, the ladies of the Marco Island Woman’s Club have fallen in love with a very special bag that bears the prestigious signature of “W-D.” It’s the “Community Bag” of Winn-Dixie, and it makes a fashion statement all its own – the ability to make a difference in our community and help the environment at the same time! From May 1 through May 31, Winn-Dixie will donate $1 to the Marco Island Woman’s Club (MIWC) for each purchase of this reusable shopping bag. The bag sells for $2.99 with an impact that will never go out of style! MIWC will use this generous donation through their charitable foundation to award scholarships to local students and support various community programs, non-profits, and causes.

The partnership between Winn-Dixie and MIWC extends far beyond the Community Bag program. The grocery store has supported the MI Woman’s Club with all the ingredients needed to make their award-winning chili for the Jerry Adams Chili Cook Off of the Marco Island Fire Rescue Foundation.

Winn-Dixie also donated the beautiful table centerpieces for the MIWC Fashion Show, an event that raises funds for the MIWC Scholarship program.

Winn-Dixie Assistant Store Manager Jocelyn Gonzalez has touched our community on a very personal level by sharing her inspirational story of success with the Manatee Middle School chapter of the Girl Up club, a leadership development initiative for girls. Girl Up is assisted and supported by volunteers of the Marco Island Woman’s Club. 

Be sure to stop by Winn-Dixie, 625 N Collier Blvd, Marco Island in May for all your grocery and pharmacy needs, purchase your Community Bag, and stop by the MIWC information table right at the entrance. Membership to the Marco Island Woman’s Club is encouraged and available to all women living on Marco Island. Please join us for friendship, fun, and service to this beautiful community.
