The Co-op supports local, non-profit and cooperative organizations that are working to increase the health of the community and/or the environment. This includes organizations that address food and nutrition issues, community building, sustainability, environmental preservation, cooperative values, local food production, or alternative/holistic health care.

BRING-A-BAG CAMPAIGN

The Bring-a-Bag Campaign was launched on Earth Day, April 22, 2011. The campaign is the Co-op’s way to give back to the community based on shoppers use of their own sustainable shopping bags instead of the use of plastic or paper bags at the cost of the Co-op. The fund builds on credits for each bag saved. At the end of each time period that revenue is awarded as a donation to a local organization or project that meets the *selection criteria. (*See application for selection criteria.)
