"Downtown Bag" Project

This program, created in collaboration with the our New Year’s resolution to 'keep it local,' will create hundreds of environmentally friendly fabric shopping bags to be distributed by individuals as well as businesses within the community of Holland. These bags will provide a sustainable alternative to disposable shopping bags.

Considering both recycling costs to processing in landfills, paper and plastic bags not only cost our cities millions, but the bags photo-degrade creating thousands of small, toxic pieces. The new Holland Green Bags are durable, reusable and will prevent additional waste in our landfills. The ivory-colored bags are water repellent, 20 1/4" x 15 7/8" x 5 7/8" in size, and are screen printed with green ink. As a sponsor, your company name will be listed prominently on each bag as a benefactor who has graciously made the program possible.


As with any not-for-profit organization, we rely heavily on the generosity of our sponsors to make programs viable.

Companies and individuals such as yourself now have the opportunity to associate your company name with a positive project for the community while giving Holland residents an opportunity to be environmentally savvy. We hope you you carefully consider the sponsorship levels and their associated benefits.

For more information on the levels of sponsorship available, please see the attached documents. For additional questions regarding this campaign please contact hollandgreenbags@iheartlove.org .
