My Co-op, My Community!
FDCC
plays a vital role in supporting the community. As well as supporting local
producers, when we shop Co-op we celebrate local ownership and strengthen our
community. Nationally co-ops contribute over $75 million each year in donations,
sponsorships, educational and other grants.
One
of the major ways members can donate to a local charity is through the Co-opCash program at our 2 Gas Bar locations one adjacent to the store on the
Vanier Highway and the other at Four Nations Crossing. For the next 6
months the Fredericton Food Bank and Meals on Wheels will benefit from
members depositing their Co-op Cash into the marked boxes next to
the cashiers inside the Gas Bars. The Co-op Cash collected will
be divided equally between these 2 organizations. They will then use this cash
to purchase product for their charitable endeavors. These organizations need our
help. Please put your Co-op Cash to good use by dropping it in the donation box
the
next time you buy gas.
