About the program: Give Where You Live is a co-op owner-powered giving program. Recipient organizations like local 501c3non-profits, schools, food pantries and more are nominated each October and elected each November by co-op owners. The eleven organizations with the most votes become the Give Where You Live recipients for the following year. Funds are collected through register round ups, 1% off the 2nd Wednesday sales and through collection boxes for cash donations at the cash register. Last year our total donations through Give Where You Live exceeded $50,000.

“Community Hunger Solutions is extremely grateful for the continued support of Viroqua Food Co-op owners and shoppers! The money raised in the month of November translates to 16,000 pounds of food delivered, free of charge, to partner pantries, low income housing units, and other community programs!”
