Faust’s Supa IGA, known for their community spirit, is now collecting a pot of gold which will cast a lucky rainbow over many local groups and organisations from this week.
The local, family owned business has launched the first community fund in the Whitsundays which will support different sporting, charity and community groups through a simple concept.
IGA shoppers now have the opportunity to donate their customer points to the community fund, which will then be converted to dollars and donated to local groups.
Faust’s Supa IGA owner Paul Faust said everyone can benefit by shopping locally and donating points to the fund, which will all ultimately go back into the community.
"It’s a continual pot of gold which grows and grows," Mr Faust said.
"The first is the Relay for Life. They approached us and we wanted to support the once-a-year event."
Mr Faust said the concept is the ‘community helping the community’, and IGA has the tools and a customer base in the thousands to make it happen.
"If you come in and shop, there is the option to donate loyalty points to the fund as a once off or regularly."
"We want to try and help the community that way and it eventually adds up to quite a lot."
For those who don’t have an IGA customer club account, it can be set up in store.
Fausts Supa IGA is also currently running extra specials throughout the store and part of the sale proceeds will also benefit the community fund.
