Hope for the Holidays raised $10,776.75!
Since 1998, our annual Hope for the Holidays campaign has paired fundraising and gift giving in one month-long event. Last month, we made a donation each time you bought a Hope for the Holidays product. We choose products we know you love, both to enjoy and to give as gifts. When you purchase them you’re also raising money.
The funds raised add to our Cooperative Community Fund, a sustainable endowment fund. Each year, a committee awards grants that are paid from the interest that the fund generates. The grants go to local nonprofits working on access to healthy food. Last year’s grants helped fund school garden improvements, a healthy cooking program, and farm field trips for kids.
This holiday season, we sold
- 403 local poinsettias,
- 790 bags of Peacestachios,
