What if everyday grocery shopping could have a greater purpose?

Our Caribbean Cost-U-Less stores are proving it can through Pennies with a Purpose, where customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar, with every extra cent directed to a different charitable cause each month.

“Thanks to Pennies with a Purpose, we’re able to provide essential food supplies to food-insecure families and healthy meals for the children in our preschools, helping them stay healthier, happier, and be better able to focus, learn and thrive,” said Katie Edwards, Program Director of NCVO, July charity of the month at our Grand Cayman store.

Since its launch this past June, the program has raised around US$20,000 to date, supporting organizations such as the Diabetes and Hypertension Association of Barbados, Growing Up Safe Sint Maarten, and Acts of Random Kindness. Monies were used to support chronic illness care, youth education, mental health programs, animal welfare, and assistance for the underprivileged.

Together with our customers, Cost-U-Less looks forward to continuing Pennies with a Purpose, turning collective small donations into meaningful community impact.
