Kiki Nolen-Schmidt of the Birmingham Zoo, as well as Mary Diddell and Lindsey DeLong of Table Matters are among the many Mountain Brook merchants participating in the Junior League of Birmingham’s Shop Save & Share fundraiser.
For the 11th year in a row, the Junior League of Birmingham will hold its Shop Save & Share fundraiser in October.
This initiative supports the League’s more than 30 community projects while at the same time driving customers to local retailers and restaurants.
When you purchase a Shop Save & Share card for $40, you receive a 20 percent discount on merchandise and food at the fundraiser’s more than 500 participating stores and restaurants. Since its inception, Shop Save & Share has put over $475,000 back into the community.
This year’s Shop Save & Share program will run from Oct. 19-30, and the Junior League of Birmingham is thrilled to have Birmingham’s best retailers and restaurants on board for 2016, including several located in Mountain Brook.
When it comes to using your card, many customers say the variety of retailers is what keeps them coming back year after year. The list is constantly growing, and this year, Shop Save & Share is partnering for the first time with new stores and attractions such as Cotton & Quill, B. Kids and Avani Rupa Fine Jewelers in Mountain Brook.
The Birmingham Zoo is also returning as a Shop Save & Share participant this year.
Restaurants are always an important part of the Shop Save & Share event, and this year is no different. Taco Mama, brick & tin, Yogurt Mountain, Nothing But Noodles, Avo & Dram, Newk’s Eatery, Maki Fresh and more Mountain Brook restaurants are participating.
It is also a great time for to get in some shopping for holiday serving pieces and table décor.
“This is a way we can give our shoppers a great discount on table décor just in time for the holidays,” said Mary Diddell, assistant manager at Table Matters. “We believe in the Junior League of Birmingham’s commitment to community service and want to support them, especially because of their close proximity to our store.”
Some other Mountain Brook-area retailers that will be participating in the 2016 Shop Save & Share event include Mountain High Outfitters, Judith Bright Jewelry, The Cook Store, B. Prince and Happy Nails just to name a few.
