Reusable shopping bags are becoming essential for eco-conscious consumers. They help reduce plastic waste while promoting sustainable habits. In Florida, a new initiative is making these bags even more special. To promote sustainability and social responsibility, Amerant Bank is partnering with Sedano’s Supermarkets, one of Florida’s leading supermarket chains. This collaboration aims to distribute reusable shopping bags designed by Amerant team member Alexis Dominguez. Starting in December 2024, these colorful bags will be available at all Sedano’s and Fresco y Mas locations across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Tampa.
Proceeds from the sale of these bags will benefit Centro Mater, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational and social services to underserved children and families in the area. Jerry Plush, Chairman and CEO of Amerant Bank, stated, “We are excited to launch this initiative with Sedano’s, an organization that shares our dedication to making a positive impact in the communities we serve.”
More Than Reusable Shopping Bags
Together, Amerant Bank and Sedano’s plan to distribute over 40,000 reusable bags featuring designs inspired by the rich Hispanic culture of South Florida and Tampa. Customers can receive one of these bags free of charge or donate their choice to support Centro Mater. The initiative promotes eco-friendly practices and contributes to a meaningful cause.
Commitment to Sustainability
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and community support. The reusable bags aim to reduce single-use plastic usage while encouraging greener shopping habits. As Javier Herran, Marketing Director of Sedano’s Supermarkets, emphasized, “This initiative not only promotes the use of reusable goods but also strengthens our commitment to the families and neighborhoods we serve and love, creating a positive impact on our community.”
The Broader Impact
This initiative aligns with Amerant’s ongoing dedication to creating social impact in Florida. The bank has a growing portfolio of partnerships, including collaborations with local sports teams like the Miami Heat and Tampa Bay Rays. The current campaign will run through the holiday season, showcasing the strength of unity that celebrates diverse cultures while addressing community needs.
Get Involved
For those interested in supporting a great cause and promoting sustainability, picking up a reusable shopping bag at Sedano’s, Fresco y Mas, or any Amerant banking center location is a simple yet impactful way to contribute. This initiative helps protect the environment and provides support to families in need through Centro Mater.
