Our LYS in Lafayette, LA also generously supports local causes. In a recent initiative our local food bank executive director (Food Net of Acadiana) challenged organizations/groups to donate 100 cans of protein rich food and our LYS participated. LYS owners announced that for a can of food donated at their shop there would be a 5% shopping discount. As knitters came but forgot their cans the shop owners allowed the shoppers to purchase a can from a case they (LYS owners) had bought and donate it back to them to give to Food Net's challenge and thus be able to get their 5% discount. I thought this to be very clever and generous solution thus making it a win-win situation.
