On the second Wednesday of every month we donate 1% of the store’s gross sales to one of the top non-profit organizations selected by the Co-op owners. We also place donation jars at each cash register to accept donations from shoppers throughout the month for that same organization. We contact these organizations so they can encourage their supporters to shop on 1% Wednesday, thus increasing the amount the Co-op donates. The advantage of this system is that it is directed by you, the owners.
