GREENVILLE, SC - On Saturday, September 6, the Mast General Store in Greenville will donate 10% of the day’s sales to benefit the efforts of the Friends of the Reedy River. Guests can also round up their purchases to the next dollar Monday, September 1 – Sunday, September 7, to provide additional support for the friends.
"Our Friends Day partners play an important part in the stability of our communities," shared Lisa Cooper, Mast Store's president. "They activate individuals and businesses around a local treasure to not only build, save, or improve it but also to strengthen the community itself."
Friends Day started in 2008. Mast Store has celebrated and supported these organizations' efforts because they are an important part of what makes our hometowns special for residents and more welcoming for visitors.
For more than 30 years, the Friends of the Reedy River has provided outreach to the Greenville community as the “voice of the river.” It offers events to improve the health of the river and its watershed by creating pollution reporting programs, garnering crowd-sourced observations on failing streambanks, developing floodplain improvement projects, advocating for environmentally sustainable urban development, and hosting two major, volunteer-driven river clean-up initiatives each year.
Stop by the Mast Store on Friends Day to learn more about the Friends of the Reedy River and how you can provide even more support with your time and talents.
