Next time you are in the office, ask to to join the Access Sacramento - SaveMart SHARES program. We will give you a plastic SHARES card. Hand the SHARES card to the checker each time you check-out at SaveMart and they will donate 3% of your total grocery bill to Access Sacramento.

 

This costs you nothing - the 3% comes from SaveMart as a supporter of our nonprofit organization. Once you get into the habit of remembering your SHARES card, the rest is simple. Thanks to you and SaveMart for supporting Access Sacramento.
