Community Shopping Days
Community Shopping Days recipients receive 2% of the Co-op’s total sales on the third Saturday of their designated month. In 2023, the Co-op donated $29,610.99.
There are two ways to support these organizations.
- 2% Saturdays: Shop the third Saturday of the month. The Co-op donates 2% of total sales from this day.
- Donate the Difference: Round up your purchase at the register on any day and 100% of your donation is given directly to that month’s Community Shopping Days recipient.
