October is National Co-op Month and here's how we plan to celebrate:

First, we want to share how Food Co-ops impact our community locally, here in Keene, as well as nationally.  Watch for this poster coming soon to the store.    

Second, October 31st is Howard Bowers Day at our Co-op.  We'll donate 1% of our sales that day to the Howard Bowers Fund which strengthens the food co-op community by giving grants for the training and education of food co-op staff, managers, and board members. We have a lot of Co-ops to thank for helping us open our doors and we want to help pay it forward by participating in this important fundraiser during National Co-op Month.

Lastly, we successfully launched our Healthy Food For All Program.  This program provides a 10% discount to all community members who receive SNAP benefits.  This is an incredibly important way for our Co-op to help make healthy food available to everyone.  We need your help spreading the word about this program.  If you know an organization or person who would benefit, please share our website link with them: http://monadnockfood.coop/healthy-food.   

 

Thank you to the over 80 people who joined us for our September 24th A Place at the Table Event.  We generated many more ideas for bringing healthy food to more people. We hope you'll attend the second showing of A Place at the Table next month. 

 

Yours Cooperatively,
