A Season of Giving: Check Out the Co-op Community Partner of the Month Program
added 10/30/09
The holidays are the time of year when giving is celebrated, and community responsibility often takes center stage. Unfortunately, when economic times are tough, corporate and individual giving are also areas that can suffer the most. Our local charities, and the needy people they serve, are no exception.
You can make a difference. One easy way to help charities in the Upper Valley is through our Co-op’s Community Partner of the Month program. Our Community Partner program offers an opportunity for Co-op shoppers to donate at the registers to a local non-profit organization each month. In this issue of the Co-op News, look for information on our November and December partners: Twin Pines Housing Trust, which works to increase the number of homes and apartments available to income-qualified residents, and the Good Neighbor and Red Logan Clinics, which together provide free health and dental care to the needy.
We all know that every little bit helps, so please give as you are able. Ninety percent of all donations go directly to the Partner of the Month. Ten percent goes to the Hanover Cooperative Community Fund, the Co-op’s charitable foundation.
If you would like your organization to be a Co-op Community Partner, we’d love to hear from you, too. The Co-op is currently scheduling organizations to be featured as partners in 2013. If your organization is interested in becoming a Co-op Community Partner of the Month, please send us an email.
