Round Up for Charity

Change Within Reach Program

Our Change Within Reach program gives Co-op shoppers the chance to contribute to community organizations in a way that does not break the bank but cumulatively makes a huge impact. Each month a local non-profit organization is featured as the program’s recipient to receive one hundred percent of the funds raised over the course of that month. It is anticipated participating organizations could receive donations of $1,000-$2,000.

Shoppers donate by allowing their purchase amount to be rounded up to the next highest dollar. Since the program started in April of 2014, Natural Harvest shoppers have raised over $150,000 for local non-profit organizations; in 2022 alone, over $21,400 was raised.

Your Co-op would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Co-op Shoppers for your continued donations and overall support of the program and another huge THANK YOU to the local non-profit organizations for the critical work they do to serve our Iron Range Community!


 


Are you affiliated with a local non-profit organization that would benefit from this program?

Every year, we ask local non-profit organizations that service our community to apply for this program.

Applications are due by August 31st, 2023.

Letters announcing the selected recipients of the 2024 Change Within Reach program will be mailed in late October 2023 to every group that applied. With the influx of applications received we do our best to diversify the recipients selected from year to year. Those not selected are encouraged to apply again.
