Our annual Hope for the Holidays campaign raised a record-breaking $26,536.75!
What Is Hope for the Holidays?
Since 1998, Hope for the Holidays has paired fundraising and gift giving during December: we make a donation each time you buy a Hope for the Holidays product. We choose some of our favorite Game Changer, local, co-op produced, and Weaver Made products.
The funds raised this year bring our Cooperative Community Fund to $332,000. Each year, a committee awards grants that are paid from the interest that the endowment fund generates. More than $60,000 has been awarded in grants to local nonprofits working on access to healthy food.
