3% Solution: With community support, Dilly’s raises $657 for Southwestern Community Services fuel assistance fund


Dilly’s For Kids donated $657 to the fuel assistance program at Southwestern Community Services after shoppers spent $21,920 during the week of December 18 through December 24.

The contribution was part of Dilly’s 3% Solution. Once every three months, Dilly’s chooses one local community organization focused on children and families to receive a cash donation from the store. The amount will be a minimum of $250 or 3% of sales for one designated week, whichever is greater. “With fuel oil over $3 a gallon at the start of the heating season, we felt that this was the best way to support local families during the winter months,” said Margaret “Dilly” Trebilcock.

Dilly’s launched the 3% Solution in March of 2010 with a $284 contribution to the Community Kitchen. Since then, Dilly’s has contributed $2,981 to local charities.

The next 3% Solution week will be the week of March 25 through 31, 2012.

Create a healthy crib with organic mattresses from Naturepedic

If you think of how much time your baby spends in the crib, you realize how important it is to have a healthy mattress. That’s why Dilly’s is now carrying organic mattresses from Naturepedic. Founded by parents, grandparents and scientists who understand the potential harm that can come from toxic chemicals, Naturepedic specializes in organic baby and children's mattresses.

In particular, a more natural and organic baby crib mattress is the first step toward a healthy crib environment for your baby. Crib safety goes beyond wood and bolts. It requires a non-toxic crib mattress as well.
