Flagstaff Better Bucks

💚 Participating businesses have joined with the Flagstaff Police Department and the Shadows Foundation to develop a system which allows donors to buy vouchers for non-alcoholic and non-tobacco related goods at participating businesses.

Better Bucks allow donors to express compassion without feeding substance abuse problems. They allow individuals in need to purchase food and important living essentials with dignity, and they bring increased business to the participating retailers - wins all around!

Stay Inspired!
