Your donated dividends go to our Cooperative Community Fund (CCF). We have $2,000 in matching funds for this year’s dividend donations: Weaver Street Market ($1,000), Organic Valley ($500), and National Cooperative Bank ($500).
We grow the CCF through contributions from owners and shoppers, including the purchase of Hope for the Holiday products and proceeds from the April and October wine shows. Donations in the fiscal year 2017 totaled $33,300.
At the Co-op Fair in September, the CCF grant committee awarded six grants totaling $7,100 to community groups for projects that increase access to healthy food.
Donate your dividends at the register or by emailing Brenda Camp at brenda.c@weaverstreetmarket.coop.
