Happy holiday

season to all!

Welcome to December's e-news!

Collectively and individually we are embarking on another one of those festive months. December. It's means so many different things to so many different people. Here at the Co-op, it means decorations, many delicious specials to contribute to your feasts, a few more closed days, and gatherings!

But speaking of closed days, please check out our Store Holiday Hours and the Cafe & Bakery Holiday Hours.

We wish you all joy and peace during the long nights and festive season.

From all of us at the Co-op

Operations Fee

We have recently developed a simple solution to pro-rate operations fees throughout the year. We appreciate the input from members to reach this solution.

Update

Our fundraising campaign came to a successful close at the end of October, with over $72,000 raised and small donations still coming in. We have so many people to thank, and we still have plenty of work to do. For more information, read the full update.
