An added bonus: Cutter’s Mill supports the animals in our community by allowing rescue groups to bring in their foster animals almost every weekend in hopes to meet new families who can offer them forever homes. In their biggest venture, Cutter’s Mill uses a roundup program at the register – simply round up your change to the next nearest dollar and the store will donate the money to the Pennsylvania SPCA (PSPCA). In December 2011, Cutter’s Mill presented a check for $30,000 to the PSPCA, fulfilling a pledge to donate a full $60,000 for a new humane officer. They also run various pet food drives, donating to local rescues and shelters.
The store often has sales, and if you sign up for their store card, they will email a coupon almost weekly. Quarterly, a physical mailer is sent which is also full of coupons. If you’re interested in signing up, you can do so here. “Like” them on Facebook too!
